Description

PHP 7.4.2 has this patch applied ​https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78929 so it won't convert + (plus sign) in cookies to spaces anymore.

Users with spaces in their username, will get a cookie like wordpress_logged_in_b47606082058ec222999b86235b9c61d=with+spaces|15816.. and WordPress will do a database search for with+spaces username instead of with spaces. This results in the user not being able to log in.
