I get this error Error: ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
I did connected to the database with HeidiSQL and used “ALTER USER ‘user’@‘host’ IDENTIFIED WITH ‘mysql_native_password’ BY ‘pw’;”
and it ran the query but my script still gives the error.

Hi @foonkus,
I see you already executed
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password'
However did you flushed the database privileges?
Enter again into MySQL and run
flush privileges;
That should be enough to get you start!
