1251 client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;consider upgrading Mysql client ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation ALTER USER failed for 'root'@'localhost'
Cause of the problem:
Mainly due to the difference between the encryption rules before mysql8 and after mysql8.
Solution:
1. First, mysql must be installed. You can open cmd as an administrator and enter under the mysql file (not necessary if environment variables have been configured):
net start mysql whether the service is enabled successfully
After the service is started successfully, enter the command: mysql -u root -p (there is no password for the first login, just press Enter)! 
Then enter after mysql>:
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER; #修改加密规则 ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password'; #更新一下用户的密码 FLUSH PRIVILEGES; #刷新权限
After success, enter the modified password in sqlyog (I set it here is 123456) to log in
