Hey, I think I may have found a small bug.
While updating my servers to 18.0.21, one of them showed this message beforehand:
WARNING: There are 6 accounts with passwords encrypted using a deprecated algorithm. Please refer to Plesk upgrade warning: There are accounts with passwords encrypted using a deprecated algorithm for the instructions about how to change the password type to plain.
I followed the instructions in the article and tracked down these objects (database users). I fixed the issue by retrieving the current password from wp-config.php (these are all Wordpress sites) and applying the same password to the users. That did the trick.
Then I noticed... these sites were migrated from Cpanel using the migration tool. So I believe the bug is that the migration routine is recreating the database users from the old server with the same password (so as to not break the website) but using a deprecated algorithm.
So my suggestion is to review the migration code so as to create new database users using the new password algorithm.
