Description (last modified by Maruti N Sharma)

For MySql, "passwd" has been replaced with "password" long time ago, please check here https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5024
But dbshell command still looks for "passwd" key in the settings for db password, resulting in connection error.
This behaviour is also slightly different than other back-ends.

passwd from OPTIONS is passed to a --password argument so it shouldn't cause any connection failures. However I agree that we can unify this. We can add a small release note (even if it's not documented). Please send patch via GitHub.

Replying to felixxm:

I understand that, actually I was using "OPTIONS" field for database settings, that is where this caused issue on my end.

If you wish to unify this behaviour, I have submitted the pull request.

Maruti, steps are incorrect. Django looks for passwd in OPTIONS and for PASSWORD in DATABASES['alias'], if not provided. All works properly.

Of course, my mistake, I have updated my comment and the description as well. Thank you.
