Description

When using PHP 7.4.2 with WordPress 5.3.2 and having an username with a space in it (e.g. 'test test') WordPress will be stuck in a loop. The login is successfull and redirects you to the desired page. After that, it will be redirected back to the wp-login.php page and requests a &reauth=1

Using PHP 7.3.14 this issue does not exists.

Apparently it's a bug introduced in PHP 7.4.2. Going to close this report as a duplicate of #49395 which provides more information about that PHP bug.
