Try   CREATE USER  golden   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON       TO  golden   localhost   FLUSH PRIVILEGES    Or even better use  mysql setpermission to create the user

I also have the similar problem  and later on I found it is because I changed my hostname  not localhost    Therefore I get it resolved by specifying the --host 127 0 0 1  mysql -p mydatabase --host 127 0 0 1

According way you create your user  MySQL interprets a different manner  For instance  if you create a user like this    create user user01 identified by  test01     MySQL expects you give some privilege using grant all on  lt your db gt    to user01   Don t forget to flush privileges   But  if you create user like that  by passing an IP address   you have to change it to   create user  user02   localhost  identified by  teste02     so  to give some privileges you have to do that   grant all on  lt your db gt    to user02 localhost  flush privileges

It looks like you re trying to make a user  golden      but a different user by the name of  golden   localhost  is getting in the way has precedence    Do this command to see the users    SELECT user host FROM mysql user    You should see two entries    1  user  golden  host    2  user  golden  host localhost  Do these Command   DROP User  golden   localhost   DROP User  golden         Restart MySQL Workbench   Then do your original commands again    CREATE USER  golden      IDENTIFIED BY  password   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON       TO  golden         Then when you go to try to sign in to MySQL  type it in like this     Hit  Test Connection  and enter your password  password

Try this  If you have already created your user  you might have created your user with the wrong password  So drop that user and create another user by doing this  To see your current users    SELECT Host User FROM mysql user   To drop the user   DROP User   lt your-username gt    localhost    After this you can create the user again with the correct password  CREATE USER   lt your-username gt    localhost  IDENTIFIED WITH mysql native password BY   lt correct password gt     then FLUSH PRIVILEGES  You might still run into some more errors with getting access to the database  if you have that error run this   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON     to   lt your-username gt    localhost

First I created the user using    CREATE user user localhost IDENTIFIED BY  password txt     After Googling and seeing this  I updated user s password using    SET PASSWORD FOR  user   localhost    PASSWORD  password txt      and I could connect afterward

Make sure the user has a localhost entry in the users table  That was the problem I was having  EX   CREATE USER  username   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password

Do not grant all privileges over all databases to a non-root user  it is not safe  and you already have  root  with that role   GRANT  lt privileges gt  ON database   TO  user   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password     This statement creates a new user and grants selected privileges to it  I E    GRANT INSERT  SELECT  DELETE  UPDATE ON database   TO  user   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  password     Take a look at the docs to see all privileges detailed  EDIT  you can look for more info with this query  log in as  root     select Host  User from mysql user    To see what happened

For annoying searching getting here after searching for this error message       Access denied for user  someuser somewhere   using password  YES    The issue for me was not enclosing the password in quotes  eg  I needed to use -p password  instead of -ppassword

Just add computer name instead of  localhost  in hostname or MySQL Host address

For anyone else who did all the advice but the problem still persists   Check for stored procedure and view DEFINERS  Those definers may no longer exists   My problem showed up when we changed the wildcard host     to IP specific  making the database more secure  Unfortunately there are some views that are still using  user      even though  user   172      is technically correct

If you are connecting to the MySQL using remote machine Example workbench  etc   use following steps to eliminate this error on OS where MySQL is installed  mysql -u root -p  CREATE USER   lt  lt username gt  gt        IDENTIFIED BY   lt  lt password gt  gt    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON       TO   lt  lt username gt  gt         FLUSH PRIVILEGES    Try logging into the MYSQL instance  This worked for me to eliminate this error

[mysql] Access denied for user 'test'@'localhost' (using password: YES) except root user
