How to solve MySQL login problem?

Question

MySQL

Hello!
When I try to login to mysql I get this message:

mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

Like, it’s not safe to use the command line to log in. I found a solution (with others a similar problem arises) - write this to the console:

mysql_config_editor set --login-path="backup" --host="localhost" --user="root" --password

Registered and fell out the following message:

'mysql_config_editor' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I ran the command from C:\OpenServer\modules\database\MySQL-5.7\bin
How to get rid of this error? I used to restart the computer and everything, but now it does not help at all.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It is not secure to pass the password in plain text via the command line.
You just need to pass an empty -p parameter and enter the password interactively
