Description:
Good afternoon,

I am trying to export data using MySQL Workbench. I connect to the server and then go to Data Export and select the databases. When I try to export it shows the authentication protocol error. I thought I prompted Workbench to use old authentication methods which allowed me to login to the database in the first place.

How to repeat:
Connect to MySQL database that requires you to disable secure_auth off.
Attempt to export data.

Try resetting your password for your MySQL account. That error occurs because your password was created in an old version of MySQL and was never upgraded to the new format, which is more secure.

Unfortunately we have to use HostGator Cpanel and we have tries this with a new user so I don't think that is it.

I have the same problem with the Mac version downloaded 12/17/13  6.8.0
Please let me know when it's fixed.

I can get it to work if I go to phpmyadmin and clear the admin password temporarily.

Update: I reset the admin password with workbench and it seems to work now.

The problem is that export is done using mysqldump, which does not support forcing the use of the pre-4.1.1 authentication protocol yet. Your best hope is to reset the account password, so that the hash will be regenerated.

BTW what's the version of the server you're connecting?

I'm not the administrator and the password change may impact some applications that I do not have in direct control.
How can I mysqldump forcing old password behavoir ?
