I’m trying to use NSO and it appears that there’s an issue with using ; and possibly other special characters in passwords for auth groups. I’ve looked but couldn’t find a way to escape it or work around. This appears to be an issue via CLI and WebUI. Do you know of a work around? I’ve temporarily created a second local user on my devices in the lab, but I’m wondering how this is going to work in prod where the only password that’s on nearly every device contains a ; or some other special character.

Let's try to enclose with double quotation marks.
like this:
# default-map remote-password "123;"
However, it's not effective for all the special characters.

Usually odd characters can be escaped using backslash, like this
