DBeaver & MySQL connection

Question

I use DBeaver to watch an SQL database on MySQL 8+.

and I have the following error message:

Public Key Retrieval is not allowed

And then, DBeaver won't let me connect to MySQL.

I've tried "useSSL" = false and "allowPublicKeyRetrieval" = true on the "Edit Driver Settings" but then it comes with this new error:

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) 

Answer 1

try upgrading your mysql connection driver mysql 8+ has taken a major upgrade it will not connect to the db less than version 8
