### The server requested authentication method unknown to the client
This error is specific to MySQL 8 servers. MariaDB is unaffected.
To fix this, you have to log into the database and run a query as root:
```
ALTER USER 'user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
```
Replacing 'user' and 'password' with your MySQL username and password, and '%' with the hostname that your user is permitted to connect to (leave it set to '%' if your user is allowed to connect from all hosts)
If this doesn't work, switching to MariaDB is recommended, not only as a solution, but also for better performance.
