This is weird. I saw we fixed that here [[K8SPSMDB-364] Liveness probe fails if password contains special characters. - Percona JIRA](https://jira.percona.com/browse/K8SPSMDB-364)

I have raised a new bug [[K8SPSMDB-533] Setting password with a special character for system user breaks the cluster - Percona JIRA](https://jira.percona.com/browse/K8SPSMDB-533)

Are you seeing the same error?

There is this secret yaml with the passwords. In Operator 1.9 if the password ends with a “!” then the login does not work. I haven’t tried it with other setup but at the end I just removed the ! and the login and all the rest worked.

Yeah, I had the same issue. We will fix it in the next release.
