Hi,

Yes, this is a known issue, due to Connector/NET 6.6 dropping support for old style password authentication.

The old style is broken, there are known attacks to crack it, that's why is no longer supported.

The workaround is to use a newer authentication like the one introduced in server version 4.1 (or any other auth supported by Connector/NET like Windows Authentication) for details see:
