I would like to install PhpMyAdmin on my Ubuntu 20 server, but if I set the password while the installation process it throws me an error: Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements. I am sure the security level in Mysql is medium (checked according this article) which means: Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters. Why this throws me an error? I dont understand.

As I found out: In Ubuntu systems running MySQL 5.7 (and later versions), the root MySQL user is set to authenticate using the auth_socket plugin by default rather than with a password. This allows for some greater security and usability in many cases, but it can also complicate things when you need to allow an external program — like phpMyAdmin — to access the user. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-20-04
