Comment (by slogan621):
So, a quick google search indicates that the "*" is probably being
interpreted as a regex wildcard. And two in a row is probably invalid,
leading to the exception being raised.
What happens if you escape the '*' characters, e.g., use querty123\*\*\*
instead of querty*** ? I'm expecting that doing so would allow for the use
of "*' in a password (or trigger some other filtering/error that might be
in place that disallows use of "*").
