title: Can't connect to remote server using MySQL Workbench on mac
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a remote database but it gives me an error that the password is wrong:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connecting to MySQL server www.test.net... Access denied for user
    'test'@'test' (using password: YES)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I know that the password is correct, as I can access to the cpanel with it, but it always gives me the same error, I even tried to change the user to one of the users on that database, but nothing seems to work</p>
  
  <p><strong>Answer</strong></p>
  
  <p>It seem this question gets a lot of viewers, so I might as well tell you what solved the problem for me:</p>
  
  <p>I had to give permission to my IP from the server, so that my PC would be recognized as safe to access the DB</p>
