MySQLDatabase return "using password: NO" when password is provided
Can you connect to this database directly without peewee? @natku

Yes, I can access the database as root and other users.

I've tried the MySQLDatabase with other users as well. Have you tried using `passwd` instead of `password` for the password field? @coleifer

Yes I have  What MySQL driver are you using? Are you able to connect to the database using the driver directly? (e.g. pymysql, mysql-connector, etc) Since I haven't heard anything I am closing. Please comment with answers to my questions and I'll happily reopen if there is still an issue. @coleifer 

Sorry for the late response, couldn't test out your question until the next weekday. Seems like pymysql returns the same error. So the root error doesn't seem to be peewee. Any suggestions?

```py
>>> pymysql.connect(db='database', user='username', password='***')
(1045, "Access denied for user 'intern'@'localhost' (using password: NO)")
```

Do you recommend any other MySQL drivers for Python 3 since documentation only mentions pymysql (MySQLdb isn't going to work)?

Here's the problem [PyMySQL #651](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/issues/651), when setting up mysql I was using SHA256 auth. Thanks for the edit homie...that's interesting. So sounds like a pymysql + mysql 8 / sha256 bug? You can use the de-facto mysql driver, "mysql-connector" with py3k if you wish. e.g.:

https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/blob/master/playhouse/mysql_ext.py I had exact the same issue with 
```
>>> pymysql.__version__
'0.8.0'
```
and simple upgrade `pip install pymysql --upgrade` to `0.9.3` version resolved it. > I had exact the same issue with

this worked, its seems there is some issue with the version 0.8.0/0.8.1. upgrading the package is working for me.

*Version: 3.5.0*

I'm trying to validate my connection via `MySQLDatabase` on a fresh MySQL server (added a user with permission to specified database) but it's not accepting a password:

```py
>>> db = MySQLDatabase('database', user='username', password='***')
>>> db.get_tables()
(1045, "Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: NO)")
```

I checked `db.__dict__['connect_params']['password']` and it exist there.This differs from another MySQL server which uses peewee@3.2.2, succeeds to connect.
