Event not found (password mask related)?

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Trying to create new config, but there is an error with password mask like this one:

x12345p!XABCD123?|XX

Response is:
-bash: !XABCD123?: event not found

It seems "!" or "|" complicates stuff?
Tried on stable 1.57.0 and on 1.58 DEV. Same response on both version.

Note: this is not real password, just want to show a mask.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.57.0

  • os/version: pure2 6.5
  • os/kernel: 4.4.35 (armv7l)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: arm
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Anyone with password required.

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone config create my_mega mega user="xxxxxxxx@gmail.com" pass="x12345p!XABCD123?|XX"

A log from the command with the -vv flag

No log, only response: 
-bash: !XABCD123?: event not found

Use single quotes for Linux:

felix@gemini:~$ rclone config create my_mega mega user="xxxxxxxx@gmail.com" pass="x12345p!XABCD123?|XX"
-bash: !XABCD123?: event not found
felix@gemini:~$ 
felix@gemini:~$ rclone config create my_mega mega user='xxxxxxxx@gmail.com' pass='x12345p!XABCD123?|XX'
--------------------
[my_mega]
type = mega
user = xxxxxxxx@gmail.com
pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
