was created and row count

Remove local anonymous users
To remove local anonymous users:
1. Look for blank entries for user.
2. Remove anonymous access to databases

under the host column. You will also notice
you will now need to qualify username and
password on the local machine to get into
mysql shell from the mysql.exe CLI.

To remove remote anonymous users, you harden mysql.exe CLI access by forcing the
requirement for a username and password to get into the mysql shell as follows.
