Hi,
I already downloaded and installed mysql-connector-net (the one required to install before connecting to MYSQL).
However, when I tried connecting to a data base from MYSQL, it failed and said "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided".
Any idea why this is happening? I only had one root account in MYSQL and I know the password. But when I used this to try connecting, it just keeps failing.
Thanks so much!
Hi @zhqigz ,
According to your error message prompt, it maybe a permission/authentication error.
I suggest that you can try to edit the credentials or delete the credential information in the data source setting and try again.
