3. Update Passwords Easily**: With this trigger in place, whenever you update a password directly through your MySQL editor, such as entering `'mypasswd123'`, the trigger will automatically encrypt it to something like `'*DD33176027C486CECB9B6F770756A1C115A1F659'`. This method ensures that you can manage passwords securely without relying on external applications to generate encrypted values.

### Conclusion

This setup simplifies password management for user accounts, ensuring that every time a password is updated, it’s automatically encrypted. I hope this guide proves useful for you in managing your server effectively!
