Passwords containing symbols like '%' where altered without notifying the user resulting in error messages saying the password is wrong while trying to connect to a MySQL database despite knowing its' right. My guess is that the ajax function automatically encodes/decodes the data in it's post request making a password like: 'abc%123' become: 'abc3' while the php function didn't perform any attempt to restore the original password.
(This is not tested) but it shows the concept and the cause of this issue.
