I am just starting to learn SQL. I downloaded MySQL and created a server with it on my PC. I was able to connect to the server and start trying SQL commands. Now its a couple days later, when I open MySQL workbench and try to connect to the server I get this error: "Cannot Connect to Database Server" then below it says "Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at localhost:3306: Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' reported error: Authentication requires secure connection. "

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

  • Have you tried steps in official documentation, about this error ? https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-security-excerpt/8.0/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html – TPAKTOPA Jul 03 '18 at 19:19
