This option controls how the server loads the deprecated validate_password  plugin at startup. The value should be one of those available for plugin-loading options, as described in Section 5.6.1, “Installing and Uninstalling Plugins” . For example, --validate-password=FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT tells the server to load the plugin at startup and prevents it from being removed while the server is running. 

This option is available only if the validate_password  plugin has been previously registered with INSTALL PLUGIN  or is loaded with --plugin-load-add . See Section 6.4.3.1, “Password Validation Component Installation and Uninstallation” .

• validate_password_check_user_name 

## Note 

In MySQL 8.0, the validate_password  plugin was reimplemented as the validate_password  component. The validate_password  plugin is deprecated; expect it to be removed in a future version of MySQL. Consequently, its system variables are also deprecated and you should expect them to be removed as well. Use the corresponding system variables of the validate_password component instead; see Password Validation Component System Variables. MySQL installations that use the plugin should make the transition to using the component instead. See Section 6.4.3.3, “Transitioning to the Password Validation Component” .

This validate_password  plugin system variable is deprecated; expect it to be removed in a future version of MySQL. Use the corresponding validate_password.check_user_name  system variable of the validate_password  component instead.
