Authentication method 'caching_sha2_password' not supported by any of the available plugins

Authentication method 'caching_sha2_password' not supported by any of the available plugins

The error message "Authentication method 'caching_sha2_password' not supported by any of the available plugins" typically occurs when attempting to connect to a MySQL server using the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin, but the client does not support it.

The caching_sha2_password authentication plugin is a new authentication plugin that was introduced in MySQL 8.0, which provides a more secure password hashing algorithm compared to the previous SHA-1 algorithm. However, not all MySQL client libraries or tools support this authentication plugin.

To resolve this error, you can try one of the following solutions:

  1. Upgrade the client library or tool: Upgrade to a newer version of the MySQL client library or tool that supports the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. For example, if you are using the MySQL Connector/NET library, make sure you are using version 8.0 or later.

  2. Change the authentication plugin: Change the authentication plugin used by the MySQL server to one that is supported by the client. For example, you can change the authentication plugin to mysql_native_password, which is supported by most MySQL client libraries.

You can change the authentication plugin by following these steps:

a. Log in to the MySQL server as a user with administrative privileges.

b. Run the following SQL query to switch to the mysql system database:

USE mysql;

c. Run the following SQL query to update the authentication plugin for the user:

ALTER USER 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';

Replace user and password with the actual username and password of the user.

d. Flush the privileges to apply the changes:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

After changing the authentication plugin, try connecting to the MySQL server again and see if the error is resolved.
