To fix this issue you have to do ALTER user in table and provide complex password. Below is the two line of command that you have to enter into MySQL database.
Replace your user and user_password with your own.
mysql> ALTER USER ‘user’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘user_password’;mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit
If above is not fixed your error/issue then create a new user with grant privileges and login with new credentials.
mysql> create user ‘vetechno’@’localhost’ identified by ‘vetechno@@1234’;mysql> grant all privileges on . to ‘vetechno’@’localhost’;
mysql> ALTER USER ‘vetechno’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘vetechno@@1234’;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit
