8.0.29, 8.0.30: MySQL Client Doesn't Prompt for Password if ~/.my.cnf is Present (Doc ID 2872923.1)

Last updated on DECEMBER 05, 2022

Applies to:

MySQL Server - Version 8.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptom looks like this:

As it seen above, -p option was supplied so client should let the user enter a password, but it didn't, hence "Access denied".

This is a regression in 8.0.29. Previous versions of client worked as expected.
