To switch to caching_sha2_password in MySQL 8, you can follow these steps:
[LIST=1][*]Open your MySQL configuration file (my.cnf or my.ini), and under the [mysqld] section, add the following line:
[/LIST]default_authentication_plugin=caching_sha2_password
[LIST=1]
[*]
Restart your MySQL server for the changes to take effect.
[*]Now, you need to alter the user to use caching_sha2_password. You can do this by executing the following SQL command:
[/LIST]SQLALTER USER 'your_username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'your_password';
Please replace 'your_username' and 'your_password' with your actual username and password.
Remember, to connect to the server using an account that authenticates with the caching_sha2_password plugin, you must use either a secure connection or an unencrypted connection that supports password exchange using an RSA key pair.
