Everything you can use for a password can be escaped out of a csv. Partially because csvs have to be interoperable with databases for a bunch of different reasons, and databases are where your passwords are stored (though ideally not in plaintext). There's no way that I can think of to poison your password for a data breach that wouldn't also poison the password database for the service you're trying to log into.

    Gotcha, that's what I was thinking as well. I haven't done any software development in a long time (I have a degree in it, but professional career sent me down another path in tech), so my memory on input sanitization is very rusty. Thanks for the response!
