IFTTT trigger login attempt fail

Configuration
1

I am trying to set up a few Google home triggers for my daughters use, When saying the trigger word, it goes to execute the scene and gives me a "login attempt failed Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from "

So, the google home is attempting to trigger the scene, but Home assistant is not allowing it. I have the correct API password called out I have double and triple checked it. Any ideas?

Iā€™m assuming you are using the webhooks component on IFTTT?
In that case, make sure you end your posting url with

?api_password=YOURPASSWORD

Thanks for the quick reply. About 5 min. ago I figured out the problem lol. I had a # in my password, which screwed it all up. I changed the password and its all working well now.

I too have a # and some more characters in my password. What is actually allowed in a password and/or can we divine string in the url like password="#@characters!" ?
