SMTP incorrect password SOLUTION

[cajmorgan]

So with mautic 5, we get ‘mailer_dsn’ => 'smtp: instead of the traditional settings. If you try to configure this in the UI and your password has a special character, like f.e blankspace, it won’t simply work as it will replace it by some incorrect character.

The solution is to edit the password manually in local.php file, located in app/config/ or /config with the correct url-encoded characters. Also you need double %% instead of single %.

Hope you save some time

Thanks for the workaround and your report on github. I commented on it, as it seems to be a duplicate of this issue:
