Node.js & MySQL - Error: 1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Question

Right now I have only this code:

const Sequelize = require(\'sequelize\');
const sequelize = new Sequelize(\'database\', \'root\', \'passwd\', {
  host: \'localh         


        

Answer 1

Changing the plugin to mysql_native_password might solve the problem!

use mysql;
update user set authentication_string=password(''), plugin='mysql_native_password' where user='root';
