Authenticating with hashed password?

Shorter version:
How to use the MySQL Connector/NET to hash the password when connecting the server?

Instead of hashing it, the connector simply sends the password in clear text (connection string), whether I concatenate the connection string myself or use the MySqlConnectionStringBuilder.

In login request to MySQL Server from the Connector, password is not sent in clear text (just traced it with Wireshark). Password is a hash value or encrypted.

Perhaps the "clear text password" is in your program and needs to be saved/stored in a secure way?
