Bug Description

I have done a  new installation of Ubuntu 20.04.3-desktop-amd64 with LVM encryption enabled (from live USB, then install UBUNTU). The process finished without any problem, but when the PC reboots, I enter my password but I cannot unlock the disk.
I got the error : "Please unlock disk sdb3_crypt. Cryptsetup: ERROR:sdb3_crypt: cryptsetup failed, bad password or options ?"

My password has special char "/".

If I redo the full process with a password without this special char "/", there is no error.
