Normally we create user using following:

CREATE USER 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

To create user with native password:

CREATE USER 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Or for existing user execute following:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
EXIT;

** If the user needs to write files into the file system

GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
