Good day, I am facing a problem when I try to access my online database from local windows form app, it always shows this error message Access denied for user 'xxxxx'@'xxx.xx.xxx.xx' (using password: YES) even I write the correct combination of server/user/pass/database name.
I also try to access my online database using Mysql Workbench but it also show a error message of access denied. Thank you.
