[mysql-async] [ERROR] ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client`

[Almeidowski]

Describe the bug
I'm getting this when trying to connect to mysql-async:

[mysql-async] [ERROR] ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

To Reproduce
I'm using this in server.cfg:

set mysql_connection_string "server=localhost;database=portugalrpdb;userid=root;password=passpass"
start mysql-async

I'm using MySQL Workbench, instead of XAMPP, because that's what I'm more used to, but I'm still a beginner.
Expected behavior
To connect to MySQL server. I don't know. I'm stil learning.

Screenshots / Logs

Software:

• OS: Windows 10
• Version of the resource: I downloaded it just today so I assume it's the latest recommended.
• Database Version: I don't know, but I downloaded it from MySQL website.

Additional Information
I'm not using ESX.

Fix:
I was with MySQL 8.0, I uninstalled it and installed MariaDB and it's now working.

Yea depending on updates they release things like database sql software needs updating so you work with a lower version now it will run super slow at loading stuff
