Laravel auth: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

I was trying to implement basic user registration & login using ‘auth’. I am able to create the migrations and the tables are already created in the database as well.

When I fill up the registration details such as Name, Email, Password & Confirm Password and hit register, I’m landing up in this error:

This is the code in my .env file

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=townbakery
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=12345678!

I’ve added any other code or have made any other changes except changing the Route web.php as

Route::get('/', function () {
return view('auth.login');
});

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');

Please help me where I’ve gone wrong. This is the first application I’m working on after learning laravel basics.

Database.php looks like:

mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'prefix_indexes' => true,
        'strict' => true,
        'engine' => null,
        'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
            PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
        ]) : [],
    ],

Here is my User.php model:

<?php

namespace App;

use IlluminateNotificationsNotifiable;
use IlluminateContractsAuthMustVerifyEmail;
use IlluminateFoundationAuthUser as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;

/**
 * The attributes that are mass assignable.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $fillable = [
    'name', 'email', 'password',
];

/**
 * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $hidden = [
    'password', 'remember_token',
];

/**
 * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $casts = [
    'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}

Answer

One last possibility would be that your server is forcing the value of the env variable DB_PASSWORD ether through Vhost or .htaccess

To verify this, try changing your .env variable to DB_T_PASSWORD=12345678! and dont forget to change it in database.php config file 'password' => env('DB_T_PASSWORD', ''),
