How to handle authentication popup when password contains '#'

Question

I want to handle authentication popup by passing username and password in url. Since password contains '#', I am not able to do it. Is there any way to do it?

I have handled it using autoit but I wanted to handle it using above method.

Answer 1

sending a password via url seems like a bad idea, but if you must, urlencode it. (Replace it with %23).
