Installation SQL issue: Access denied for user 'xenforo'@'localhost'

I created (through command line) a new mariaDB user and database, and granted all privileges to my new user. I am trying to enter that information to the first step of the Xenforo install page, which asks for such info, but I get the following error message:

Access denied for user 'xenforo'@'localhost'

It would be really helpful to see more of the error.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Update: Fixed! I had to replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 in the install page.

Even though you've already resolved this, I'll chime in and note that there isn't more of the error to see. That error message is the exact wording MySQL/MariaDB returns.
