If you want to use mysql >= 8 and you dont care about caching_sha2_password,  If you are running a fresh install of mysql 8, just select the second option as shown in the image. Otherwise, you need to  configure MySQL 8.0 to run in mysql_native_password mode. As it can't configured in my.cnf, change the user profile as:- ALTER USER 'mysqlUsername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mysqlUs...
