The problem is that your password wont match the password validation rules  You can simple follow below steps to solve your problem   You can simply see password validation configuration matrix by typing below code   mysql- gt  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE  validate password      Then in your matrix you can find below variables with corresponding values and in there you have to check validate password length   validate password number count and validate password policy    Check the values used for those variables  Make sure your validate password length should not be greater than 6  You can set that to 6 by using below code   SET GLOBAL validate password length   6    And after that you need to set validate password number count to 0  Do it by using below code   SET GLOBAL validate password number count   0    Finally you have to set you validate password policy to low  Having that as Medium or High wont allow your less secure passwords  Set that to low by below code    SET GLOBAL validate password policy LOW

You have to change MySQL password policy to LOW  login as root mysql -u root -p  change policy SET GLOBAL validate password policy LOW   or SET GLOBAL validate password policy 0   exit exit  restart MySQL service sudo service mysql restart  You have to change the MySQL password policy to Low   0   Medium   1   High   2  SET GLOBAL validate password policy 0  SET GLOBAL validate password policy 1      SET GLOBAL validate password policy 2

didn t work for me on ubuntu fresh install of mysqld  had to add this  to  etc mysql mysql conf d mysqld cnf or the server wouldn t start  guess the plugin didn t load at the right time when I simply added it without the plugin-load-add directive   plugin-load-add validate password so validate password policy LOW validate password length 8 validate password mixed case count 0 validate password number count 0 validate password special char count 0

Set password that satisfies 7 MySql validation rules  eg - d VX gt N  xn BrD2y  Making validation criteria bit more simple will solve the issue  SET GLOBAL validate password length   6  SET GLOBAL validate password number count   0    But recommended a Strong password is a correct solution

In my opinion setting the  validate password policy  to  low  or uninstalling the  validate password plugin  is not the right thing to do  You must never compromise with security of your database  unless you don t really care   I am wondering why people are even suggesting these options when you simply can pick a good password   To overcome this problem  I executed following command in mysql  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE  validate password   as suggested by  JNevill  My   validate password policy   was set to Medium  along with other things  Here is the screenshot of its execution  Validate Password Policy  The result is self explanatory  For a valid password  when Password policy is set to medium     Password must be at least 8 characters long Mixed case count is 1  At least 1 letter in small and 1 letter in caps  Number count is 1 Minimum special Character count is 1   So a valid password must obey the policy  Examples of valid password for above rules maybe     Student123  NINZAcoder 100 demoPass 00   You can pick any combination as long as it satisfies the policy   For other  validate password policy  you can simply look the values for different options and pick your password accordingly  I haven t tried for  STRONG     https   dev mysql com doc refman 5 6 en validate-password-options-variables html

For MySql 8 you can use following script   SET GLOBAL validate password LENGTH   4  SET GLOBAL validate password policy   0  SET GLOBAL validate password mixed case count   0  SET GLOBAL validate password number count   0  SET GLOBAL validate password special char count   0  SET GLOBAL validate password check user name   0  ALTER USER  user   localhost  IDENTIFIED BY  pass   FLUSH PRIVILEGES

Because of your password  You can see password validate configuration metrics using the following query in MySQL client  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE  validate password     The output should be something like that    -------------------------------------- -------    Variable name                          Value    -------------------------------------- -------    validate password check user name      ON        validate password dictionary file                validate password length               6         validate password mixed case count     1         validate password number count         1         validate password policy               LOW       validate password special char count   1        -------------------------------------- -------   then you can set the password policy level lower  for example  SET GLOBAL validate password length   6  SET GLOBAL validate password number count   0   Check the MySQL Documentation

This error message has nothing to do with the stored password in your table  It also occures if you type  on SQL console    select password  123456789     or if    select password  A123456789     or if    select password  A 123456789     If you type    select password  A a123456789     then it will work  Just use big   small letters  special chars and numbers to create your password    You can disable these checks in my cnf  but then you will have a security risk   in  mysqld  add   validate password policy LOW validate password special char count 0 validate password length 0 validate password mixed case count 0 validate password number count 0

I had the same Problem and the Answer is just Right in front of you  remember when you ran the script while installing mysql like     sudo mysql secure installation   there somewhere you chose which password type would you like to chose   There are three levels of password validation policy   LOW    Length    8 MEDIUM Length    8  numeric  mixed case  and special characters STRONG Length    8  numeric  mixed case  special characters and dictionary                  file  Please enter 0   LOW  1   MEDIUM and 2   STRONG   you have to give a password to same policy   here are some sample examples for your passwords   for type 0  abcdabcd for type 1  abcd1234 for type 2  ancd 1234

After running the command sudo mysql secure installation    Run sudo mysql to enter into the mysql prompt  Run this SELECT user authentication string plugin host FROM mysql user  to check for user root to have as plugin auth socket  Then do run uninstall plugin validate password  to drop priviledges before running this ALTER USER  root   localhost  IDENTIFIED WITH mysql native password BY  password  Be sure to change password to a strong password    NOTE  check out this link https   www digitalocean com community tutorials how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-18-04 for more help

NOTE  This might not be a secure solution  But if you are working on a test environment  just need a quick fix and doesn t even care about the security settings  This is a quick solution   The same issue happened to me when I ran  mysql secure installation  and modified password security level to  medium    I bypassed the error by running the followings   mysql -h localhost -u root -p mysql gt uninstall plugin validate password    make sure you reinstall the plugin  validate password  if necessary

There are some moments where finding a quick solution is great  But if you can avoid lowing passwords restrictions  it can keep you from having big headache in future   Next link is from the official documentation https   dev mysql com doc refman 5 6 en validate-password html  where they expose an example exactly like your one  and they solve it    The only one problem you have is that your password is not strong enough to satisfy the actual minimum policy  not recommended to remove   So you can try different passwords as you can see in the example

[mysql] Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements
