Why does laravel throw an error when connecting to mysql?

Question

MySQL

Updated openserver, now for some reason instead of the standard login and password ("root", ""), you need to enter ("mysql", "mysql"). In this regard, I updated the data in .env to (DB_USERNAME=mysql DB_PASSWORD=mysql), but laravel gives an error when connecting to mysql - SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

With what it can be connected?

Answer 1

php artisan config:clear ?

Answer 2

The user has no rights. You need to create a new user for the database through the console and give him rights.
