Hi, cyusedfzfb,

This is a MariaDB mailing list and mysql_native_password is
not yet deprecated in MariaDB and is not planned for removal.

Generally, according to our Feature Deprecation Policy:

  https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-feature-deprecation-policy/

if a feature is marked deprecated it cannot be removed in less than 5
years. For widely used features (and mysql_native_password definitely
qualifies) it's likely 10 years or more.

But, again, mysql_native_password is not deprecated, so its
countdown timer didn't start yet.
