Question
Mysql is accepting any (or no) password for root user on fresh LAMP install (18.04)
Title pretty much says it all - I have tried installing LAMP on 18.04 from the marketplace several times today. On SSH login I am able to log in as root, even if putting in a garbage (or blank) password.
I’ve never had this happen before! Anyone else have ideas?

Sorry, I do my best proofreading AFTER I hit ‘post’ - let me clarify that I am talking about MySQL logins via SSH. I can log in with any pass or no pass into the MySQL shell.
