Not Handling Greater Than Characters in Passwords Correctly

    My import to a new database/site is failing because your software is not handling certain valid mysql password characters properly. Specifically, my password contains a ‘>’, which something in your software is mapping to ‘>’

    Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any way for me to overwrite the correct value in the textbox installer.php puts up — so far as I can tell it’s a read-only textbox.

    What’s the workaround? Other than changing the db password so Duplicator doesn’t mess it up. Which I can do but is a PITA.

    LOL! the second ‘>’ in the message above should display as ampersand-gt-semicolon but it’s being unhelpfully remapped to the greater than sign.

    Hey @markolbert.

    We’ll have to double-check that I thought we had all special characters covered.

    Thanks
