MySQL Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements

When i try to create MySQL user on a server, i get following error

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'centovacast'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '*5B5F6EB22D64C7D8FE384BEF890B55964482A144' WITH GRANT OPTION;
ERROR 1819 (HY000): Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements
mysql>

This is due to MySQL validate password settings

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name                        | Value  |
+--------------------------------------+--------+
| validate_password_check_user_name    | OFF    |
| validate_password_dictionary_file    |        |
| validate_password_length             | 8      |
| validate_password_mixed_case_count   | 1      |
| validate_password_number_count       | 1      |
| validate_password_policy             | MEDIUM |
| validate_password_special_char_count | 1      |

To fix the error for current session, run

SET GLOBAL validate_password_mixed_case_count = 0;

Now password change will work.

mysql> SET GLOBAL validate_password_mixed_case_count = 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'centovacast'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '*5B5F6EB22D64C7D8FE384BEF890B55964482A144' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)

If you need it made permanent, then edit MySQL configuration file and add the line under [mysqld] section.

validate_password_mixed_case_count = 0
