php mysqli_connect: authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]

Question

I am using php mysqli_connect for login to a MySQL database (all on localhost)

Answer 1

I think it is not useful to configure the mysql server without caching_sha2_password encryption, we have to find a way to publish, send or obtain secure information through the network. As you see in the code below I dont use variable $db_name, and Im using a user in mysql server with standar configuration password. Just create a Standar user password and config all privilages. it works, but how i said without segurity.
