MySQL8.0.4用root用户登录时提示caching_sha2_password的原因和解决方法

错误提示：The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]

一原因

从MySQL 8.0.4开始，MySQL服务器的默认身份验证插件从mysql_native_password更改为caching_sha2_password。相应地，libmysqlclient现在也将caching_sha2_password用作默认身份验证机制。具体可看官方解释：Mysql管方说明文档

解决办法

从MySQL 8.0.4开始，MySQL服务器的默认身份验证插件从mysql_native_password更改为caching_sha2_password。相应地，libmysqlclient现在也将caching_sha2_password用作默认身份验证机制。

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> use mysql;

mysql> SELECT Host, User, plugin from user;
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| Host      | User             | plugin                |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| %         | root             | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.infoschema | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.session    | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.sys        | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | root             | caching_sha2_password |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
————————————————
将caching_sha2_password修改为mysql_native_password即可，如下：

```c
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '123456';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '123456';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

mysql> SELECT Host, User, plugin from user;
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| Host      | User             | plugin                |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| %         | root             | mysql_native_password |
| localhost | mysql.infoschema | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.session    | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | mysql.sys        | caching_sha2_password |
| localhost | root             | mysql_native_password |

测试连接代码

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "123456";
 
// 创建连接
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
 
// 检测连接
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("连接失败: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 
echo "连接成功";
?>
