**Note:** Special characters such as `$`, `\*`, and `!` require escaping.
If the password you are using has special characters, you need to escape them using the `\\` character. For example, if your actual password is `S!B\*d$zDsb`, you should execute the command this way:
kubectl create secret generic dev-db-secret --from-literal=username=devuser --from-literal=password=S\\!B\\\*d\\$zDsb
You do not need to escape special characters in passwords from files (`--from-file`).
