Docker Toolbox Windows Logging into quay.io

Question

When I try to log into my quay.io account using docker login quay.io it asks for username but doesn't let me type anything and hangs. Doing some research seems that you have to pass these values in option args for now. So I tried docker login -u me -p secret -e my@email.com quay.io and I get

docker: "login" requires a maximum of 1 argument

Usage: docker login [OPTIONS] [SERVER]

WTF?! Isn't that how I used it?!

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this working? I was able to successfully log into a docker hub account with the above options and no servername but if I add the servername, I get this error.

Any chance your secret has a `$` in it or something similar? Try quoting your params. — Michael, Aug 28 '15 at 21:18
Unfortunately that just makes the password prompt pop up as if I didn't even use -p. :( — Tacoman667, Aug 28 '15 at 21:24
@Michael actually double quotes didn't work. Single quotes worked. This was in the docker quickstart terminal. — Tacoman667, Aug 28 '15 at 21:26

So my password contained a special character causing it to fail the statement. Once I quoted it it worked great. Double quotes didn't do it, it was single quotes.

Thanks @Michael for the help in the comments!
