MySQL is one of the most popular and widely-used open-source relational database management systems. It is used for building web applications such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento, and is an important part of the LAMP\/LEMP open-source web application software stacks. At the moment of writing this tutorial, the latest supported version from the official Ubuntu package repository is MySQL\u00a05.7.

It checks the strength of password\r\nand allows the users to set only those passwords which are\r\nsecure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin?\r\n\r\nPress y|Y for Yes, any other key for No:<\/pre>\n<p>This plugin checks the strength of a password and allows the users to set only passwords which are secure enough.<br \/>\nWhether to enable this or not is entirely up to you, but using strong passwords is always highly recommended.<br \/>\nIf you choose &#8216;Yes&#8217;, you will be asked to choose the level of the password validation policy:<\/p>\n<pre>There are three levels of password validation policy:\r\n\r\nLOW Length &gt;= 8\r\nMEDIUM Length &gt;= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters\r\nSTRONG Length &gt;= 8, numeric, mixed case, special characters and dictionary file\r\n\r\nPlease enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG:<\/pre>\n<p>Next, you will be asked to set the password for the root user.

You should answer &#8220;Yes&#8221; to all of them:<\/p>\n<pre>By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user,\r\nallowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have\r\na user account created for them. This is intended only for\r\ntesting, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.\r\nYou should remove them before moving into a production\r\nenvironment.\r\n\r\nRemove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : Y\r\nSuccess.\r\n\r\n\r\nNormally, root should only be allowed to connect from\r\n'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at\r\nthe root password from the network.\r\n\r\nDisallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : Y\r\nSuccess.\r\n\r\nBy default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that\r\nanyone can access. This is also intended only for testing,\r\nand should be removed before moving into a production\r\nenvironment.\r\n\r\n\r\nRemove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : Y\r\n- Dropping test database...\r\nSuccess.\r\n\r\n- Removing privileges on test database...\r\nSuccess.<\/pre>\n<p>Reload the privilege tables so that all changes take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes\r\nmade so far will take effect immediately.\r\n\r\nReload privilege tables now?
