mysql 找不到指定模块,MySQL 8.0.11错误，连接到caching_sha2_password找不到指定的模块...

I've tried to connect to the latest MySQL server 8.0.11 from MySQL workbench, but the error keeps popping up: Cannot connect to MySQL server, authentication plugin: caching_sha2_password: the specified module could not be found.

I tried looking at MySQL server installation videos online and replicated every step accurately, but the error persists.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

解决方案

I had the following solution:

change my.ini in a [mysqld] section like this:

#default_authentication_plugin=caching_sha2_password (comment line!)

default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password (new line)

Connect to your MySQL under root in a command line client

and execute:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'xxx';

Where xxx is your current password.
