jQuery: How do I identify an element whose ID contains a dot?

jQuery: How do I identify an element whose ID contains a dot?

Here is my current code:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#edit-name").change(function() {
$("#Membership_UserName").val($(this).val());
});
$("#edit-pass-pass1").change(function() {
$("#Membership_PassWord").val($(this).val());
});
$("#edit-pass-pass2").change(function() {
$("#.Verify_Password").val($(this).val());
});
});
Everything works fine, except for updating the value of the element whose
ID is .Verify_Password. The reason seems pretty apparent to me (that
jQuery is getting confused after seeing # and . right next to each other)
but maybe that's wrong...
Regardless, the ID can't be changed because it's being sent to a remote
endpoint and it needs to match on that end.
So my question is: is there a way to tell jQuery that .Verify_Password is
an ID (and not a class)?
