Seeds fail with passwords containing special characters

[aaronlippold]

Bug Description

Passwords with special characters (specifically exclamation marks) fail to work when seeded through db/seeds.rb, but work when set manually through Rails console.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set password in seeds.rb to '1234567ab!'
2. Run rails db:reset
3. Try to login with admin@example.com / 1234567ab!
4. Login fails with "Invalid email or password"

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to login with the seeded password regardless of special characters.

Actual Behavior

• Password validation fails when password contains !
• Same password works when set via Rails console using a script file
• Issue appears to be with how the password is processed during seeding

Workaround

Currently using TestPassword123 without special characters in seeds.rb

Environment

• Rails 8.0.2.1
• Ruby 3.3.9
• Devise 4.9.4
• Vue 3 with @vue/compat (may be unrelated)

Additional Context

This issue was discovered during Vue 3 migration testing but appears to be a pre-existing Rails/Devise issue with seed data processing.
