Why are the equals sign "=" and plus sign "+" not special characters in AWS Cognito?

1.1k views Asked by At

While deploying our new authentication application this morning we encountered issues with users having unsecured passwords. In our development logic, consider the equals sign "=" and the plus sign "+" special characters.

Why would this statement be valid and logical ?

"The equals sign "=" and the plus sign "+" are not considered special characters."

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-settings-policies.html

We are trying to understand the logic regarding this decision.

Any insight ?
