Unable to load authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password'

When I try to connect to my locally running MySQL 8.0.13 database server, Metabase reports, “java.sql.SQLException: Unable to load authentication plugin ‘caching_sha2_password’.”

Is there something I need to do to install this authentication plugin? Or do I need to downgrade my MySQL version to an earlier version that doesn’t require SHA2 passwords?

thanks,
Nate
