Created a user to use with FME desktop for our local ArcGIS Enterprise Portal. When connecting in FME Desktop using the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader it gives an error saying bad password. Figured out that the generated password for this user must have had some characters that were not supported in FME. What Characters are not supported for passwords in this reader?

Hello @jasonclemis​ , yes, this is on our radar as a known issue (FMEENGINE-70895). Would you be able to share what version of FME Workbench you're using currently? I believe this is related to symbols contained in the password (eg. @, $ and other symbols would be things to avoid when creating your password). Hope this helps, Kailin.
