Plugin '*3AEDEEAC1CA4D924B94F089030517A18A3F910AA' is not loaded

First - Its an amazing app and love it. This is a new error with a specific user/pass/server connection, which baffles me. HeidiSQL version: 9.4.0.5125 Error message when trying to authenticate to MySQL Server (relatively new stable version): Plugin '*3AEDEEAC1CA4D924B94F089030517A18A3F910AA' is not loaded My root acct works, as well as others that I've made. So... not sure what is causing this error to pop up. The more I've messed with it, the more I think that it could be related to one of the more recent updates Ive done, or to copying another session.

Well... upon further investigation... I dont think its HeidiSQL... I think its how the MySQL server's password security policy plugin is configured... so Im trying to figure that out.

When adding a new user, or changing a password, its off by one field, when putting the "authentication_string" in the mysql.user table. instead, its dropping it into the plugin field..

Well, does the same thing from mysql command line... so... off to update a server :).

Glad you could at least track down the issue somewhere.
