Public bug reported: Install mysql-server package. When configuring, pass a password for root that is 90 symbols long. Try "mysql -u root -p" afterwards. There will be a password prompt, pasting the long password will return a login error. Succeeds for passwords of up to 32 characters.
There is no information online that MYSQL latest version limits passwords to 32 characters, except for replication. This is a standalone installation, so something is wrong. It's time consuming to debug an issue like this so it needs to be addressed and clearly documented. ** Affects: mysql-8.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1945013 Title: mysql imposes a silent limit on passwords To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/1945013/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
