I need to use a Oauth2 token as password to connect to a PostgreSQL database. The problem is that when I try to paste a stringline over 245 characters the connection fails. When reopening the connection parameters the password is red and says ‘Value not allowed’. On another laptop (FME 2022.2) it all works fine. Any idea what causes this problem?

This problem is in 2024.1, not in 2022.2 or 2025.1
