MySQL 8.0 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

I can't make a simple connection to the server for some reason. I install the newest MySQL Community 8.0 database along with Node.JS with default settings. **This is my node.js code** var mysql = require('mysql'); var con = mysql.createConnection({ host: "localhost", user: "root", password: "password", insecureAuth : true }); con.connect(function(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log("Connected!"); }); **Below is the error found in Command Prompt:** C:\Users\mysql-test>node app.js C:\Users\mysql-test\node_modules\mysql\lib\protocol\Parse r.js:80 throw err; // Rethrow non-MySQL errors ^ Error: ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client at Handshake.Sequence._packetToError (C:\Users\mysql- test\node_modules\mysql\lib\protocol\sequences\Sequence.js:52:14) at Handshake.ErrorPacket (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_mo dules\mysql\lib\protocol\sequences\Handshake.js:130:18) at Protocol._parsePacket (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_mo dules\mysql\lib\protocol\Protocol.js:279:23) at Parser.write (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_modules\mys ql\lib\protocol\Parser.js:76:12) at Protocol.write (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_modules\m ysql\lib\protocol\Protocol.js:39:16) at Socket.<anonymous> (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_modul es\mysql\lib\Connection.js:103:28) at Socket.emit (events.js:159:13) at addChunk (_stream_readable.js:265:12) at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:252:11) at Socket.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:209:10) -------------------- at Protocol._enqueue (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_module s\mysql\lib\protocol\Protocol.js:145:48) at Protocol.handshake (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_modul es\mysql\lib\protocol\Protocol.js:52:23) at Connection.connect (C:\Users\mysql-test\node_modul es\mysql\lib\Connection.js:130:18) at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\mysql-test\server.js: 11:5) at Module._compile (module.js:660:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:671:10) at Module.load (module.js:573:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:513:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:505:3) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:701:10) I've read up on some things such as: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/old-client.html https://github.com/mysqljs/mysql/issues/1507 But I am still not sure how to fix my problem.
