I just installed the new version of MySQL 8. When I try to open the connection I receive the error message: "Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded".
Is this related to the new MySQL version or to my installation?

I've been able to log in from HeidiSQL by replacing this file:
%ProgramFiles%\HeidiSQL\libmysql.dll
... with this:
%ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib\libmysql.dll
However, the User Manager does not seem to support caching_sha2_password authentication strings. It doesn't recognise existing passwords and passwords set here do not work when connecting from e.g. PHP. (I've had to set passwords from other programs such as MySQL Workbench.)

Thank you for a concise easy solution.
