You're using mysql 8. You can't use the default password type as it doesn't work with the PHP extension.

Anyway...

ALTER USER 'yourusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'youpassword';

This seems to be related to my issue, but I don't understand the solution. Can someone clarify the solution? I've installed Moodle locally, a million times before without an issue. It usually just works, without any code change, so I don't have a clue.
