Answer 1

I used to try all solutions but nothing worked. Finally and suddenly I found the solution! I use 10.5.8-MariaDB Homebrew.

    USE mysql;
    SELECT user, authentication_string, plugin, host FROM mysql.user;

For some reasons authentication_string is invalid and it's what we need to fix

Then just run the command below:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';
