User Not Needing Password For Login?
I've seen this problem for a while now, but since at the time I only needed 1 MySQL user for development purposes it wasn't a problem. Now, it's problematic.
Btw, I have MySQL 5.0.22 installed.
I created a user using the following command (I've tried this way and using GRANT):
INSERT INTO user
VALUES('%','XXXX',PASSWORD('YYYYY'),
'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y',
'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y',
'','','','',0,0,0,0);
Now, I see that row in the mysql.user table. I see the encrypted password, BUT when I try to log in to mysql from the command prompt using the user that I just created... it NEVER needs the password (YYYYY) that I set it to in the INSERT.
>> mysql -uXXXX
^ That command takes me straight to the mysql command prompt. I am wanting the command to have to be 'mysql -uXXXX -p'... and then prompt for the password. Am I missing something?

Random Password Vs. User Created Password For Site Login
Are there any security issues or other concerns that make one preferable? The client is pushing for user created passwords. I'm mapping out the basic functionality and front-end for a MySQL/PHP back-end that will be completed by a third party. I'm a novice to MySQL but familiar with PHP and their interaction. Mainly looking for anything to support one method over the other.

Password Cannot Login
I had problems in one of my user's account, I used phpMyAdmin to edit this user and changed his password. Whatever I change his password, he just cannot login, even very simple password such as "1" can't do the work... When I remove the password, he can login normally. I have checked the password field on the mysql table which is long enough to hold the full encrypted password, although I noticed an asterisk * was put at the beginning of the encrypted password, which was not found on other accounts I had a similar problem before and then I noticed my "username" and "password" field is too short to hold the whole username information, I fixed it by increasing the field length. I don't know why that happens... Migration from non-unicode to unicode database perhaps? Or being hacked in?

Login / Password Encryption
i am trying to create a very simple login system. all it does it input user data including a password and then when logging it it compares user name and password entered to find the user id (if exists) and then says you are logged in if a result was found. my problem is no results are ever found. i have found that no matter what i do the password() function never returns the same value when im trying to select a user id with password=password('$inputedpassword') in the query to look up the user id. so basically when i register the password is turned into a mess with password(), but wheni log in and use the same password() on it, it gives me something different. BUT if i register under another user name and then use the same password, password() will give me the same mess (i checked this in the databse). so i dont know why password() wont do the same thing when im using it in the query in login.php so that i can compare the passwords correctly. the only way i've been able to get this to login is to not encrypt anything. i have tried using md5 but that is giving me this same problem too. Code:

Creating User Login With Database
I'm fairly new to using databases and I am wondering how you go about creating a user login with your database. I need to create a login system for a website. Would you use a CREATE USER statement every time you want to add a user, or is that a way for having developers access the database only? I also thought of creating a user table that would contain the users name and password, but how secure would that be?

Access Denied For User: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using Password: YES)
I am currently running two servers one with Tomcat and the other with MySQL. They are both in different Windows domains and on different network segments. I have the following users on the MySQL server: user@localhost user@% I am getting a VERRRY SLOOOW connection between the two machines so I thought I'd add a user just for the Tomcat server. The IP address of the Tomcat server is 172.22.0.1 so naturally the user would be 'user@172.22.0.1' When I added this user I got the following error Access denied for user: 'user@172.22.0.1' (Using password: YES) Any ideas on what I can do to remedy the situation?

Table Creation Based On User Login
I'm trying to build a website that will allow the addition of users (w/ username, password, etc.). That seems simple enough. But is it possible to set something up (in PHP, for example) that will create a new table in the database for each new user? Ex. John Smith signs up, is verified, and a PHP script (or Java, or whatever) creates a table specifically for him. I know I'll need a master table of usernames, passwords, etc. These new tables would store certain user-specific data, such as preferences and other data the user might want to restrict access to. I know I could store all of this information in a master table, but I'm trying to think ahead. Worst case scenario, if there are millions of users (unlikely, but not impossible), I'd hate to have all that data in one table, but if I have to, I can.

DB User/password Issues
I've looked on google and searched through these forum pages for issues similar to mine only to find no answer to people who have posed a similar question so I'm hoping I catch someone who can help me with this one. My MySQL will only allow me to connect to my DBs through the web if and only if my user password is set to blank. When using MySQL Administrator, I can have my root password set and log into that just fine but when I try to use root -> pw in say my phpmyadmin script, I get access denied errors. BUT, when i change my root password to blank (testing purposes only), the page loads just fine. The same results occur when i create a test user, the test username can only connect if the password is blank. If one is set, I get those access denied errors.

According to the manual it should be SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('newpass'); is this due to the wildcards in my allowed host? Or is the syntax different from what is in the manual?

Setting User Password
I am having a problem getting mysql to recognize my user password. Currently I am doing everything on 'localhost' [CASE] My root password works; I have access and can create databases as root. I used MySql Administrator to create a user 'bill' and gave that user a password (billpw) different from root and applied most of the global privileges including 'CREATE'. I can open mysql with root and rootpw. As well, I can open mysql with user 'bill' and rootpw but NOT with billpw. [bill@CASE ~]$ mysql -u bill -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'bill'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Even when I open Mysql with bill rootpw, I get the following: mysql> CREATE DATABASE menagerie; ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'menagerie' I can CREATE the DATABASE as root. I have read Section 5.7, “The MySQL Access Privilege System” and nothing seems to apply -- but that could just be newbie ignorance. Do I have some Linux permission problem related to MySql or have I done something wrong when creating my user ? How can I check for the error?

Change The Root User Password

However I would like to know how to I change the password for the root user, and how would I also change the password for users that I set up (I assume it would be a similar way)? I am currently running all on my local machine (hence no need to use "-h" anywhere in the login procedure) and running on windows 2000.

Mysql.user.password In Session
I have set up a few users in the mysql Privileges and with my php pages I have them log in with a form (login.php) to access the next page (mainpage1.php) that generates info from the mysql db.I know it is not really secure to just have the plain text password stored as a $_SESSION['pw'] as I have now. but how should I store it in a Session to be used in other pages without the user having to enter it in each time the page wants to go to the db? Or can we store the $Link in a session? or somehow have it remember that the user is connected?as if I sha1() the password how do I get it back into a format that mysql recognizes?What is the best way of doing this?

I have not set a password for root because the same thing happened when I tried to set root pw immediately after install of the database. This time I am trying to work out the access issue with a new user i have created. This way I still have access since and I won't have to reinstall the db.
