According to this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-security-excerpt/5.4/en/default-privileges.ht ml If you want to prevent clients from connecting as anonymous users without a password, you should either assign a password to each anonymous account or else remove the accounts. We I do a MySQL install, I always go into the mysql client as root and issue these commands: use mysql; delete from user where Password=''; flush privileges; quit; It removes those accounts.
