I recently installed the latest version of MySQL Server.
I initialized it with –initialize-insecure so I have a "root" user with no password set.
The server is running, with the command mysqld --console
I am able to start it.
I can connect to it through MySQL workbench just fine, port 3306, user "root", password not set
However if I try to use DBForge v7.2.34 the connection is refused, how can I solve this or at least debug the problem?

After hours of research I figured out that it was a problem of user authentication, I had only a user 'root@localhost'. Turns out I needed an user 'root'@'127.0.0.1'
After all of that, I discovered my version of DBforge does not support MySQL server v8.0
