1.7 Using '%' char in password gives An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Prestashop: 1.7.6.7

Hi everyone,

I tried it twice and the problem was the same. If there is a '%' in the password you are using to access ur Mysql DB, Prestashop double it when it try to access it. 

ie:

original password: Azerty%1

password used by Prestashop: Azerty%%1

ending with this error: An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Best regards.

Confirmed. If the password has the % character doesn't work.

Solved changing the password.
