PHP 7.4.3 was released on 20th February 2020.
It has resolved the bug in PHP 7.4.2 that broke WordPress authentication for usernames with spaces.
For more information, see:
- User authentication broken for usernames that include spaces (PHP bug #78929)
- Bug #78929 plus signs in cookie values are converted to spaces
- Bug #79174 setcookie() encodes space as `+`, but $_COOKIE no longer decodes them

I’m so glad this bug was resolved. We had multiple clients not being able to login to their websites for no apparent reason.
