MySQL caching_sha2 Hash Generator

MySQL 8+ uses caching_sha2_password as the default authentication plugin. It provides modern SHA‑256–based hashing and faster handshakes via server‑side caching.

mysql_native_password (double‑SHA1) is legacy/deprecated and discouraged for new users. Prefer caching_sha2_password for better security and compatibility.
