Forum Post: RE: Toad for MySQL 7.2 is released!

What a shity answer Henrik Johnson . Is it so hard to copy and paste solution to this problem? In Toad for MySQL 7.2 or later, when connecting to MySQL using a connection created in Toad for MySQL 7.0 or earlier, some users may encounter the following error: "Authentication with old password no longer supported, use 4.1 style passwords." This is an error message from MySQL database and indicates that the connection password was created in a pre-MySQL 4.1 database. Workaround: Connect to the MySQL database using Toad for MySQL 7.0 and run the following script. Replace the YOURDATABASEPASSWORD string with the actual password. SET SESSION old_passwords=0; SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('YOURDATABASEPASSWORD');
