From autoit script the program is not taking the "#1" value from the password field

Question

For windows authentication using selenium I am using the below autoit script but the program is not taking the "#1" value from

WinWaitActive("Windows Security")

Send("Test\1234")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("testen#1")

Send("{ENTER}")

program is reading only "testen" , its not reading "#1"... Can someone suggest a solution for this..?

From Send documentation:

'#'

The hash now sends a Windows keystroke; therefore, Send("#r") would send Win+r which launches the Run() dialog box.

If you look at the top of the table in the Remarks section, you may see:

Send: {#}

Result: #

Using {#} stops # being sent as a Windows keystroke and instead sends the literal character #.

So use:

Send("testen{#}1")

or you could try the raw parameter of Send().
