If you want to keep the "fancy" caching_sha2_password credential plugin, you may upgrade (if you are able) your SQLyog to 13.1.3 or later.
Quoted from Version-History - 2019 of SQLyog

--The “caching_sha2_password” authentication plugin (default in recent MySQL 8 servers) is now supported.

I could resolve this issue by creating another user through the following query:

create user '[USERNAME]'@'%' identified with mysql_native_password by '[PASSWORD]';

I could understand Oracle has made default authentication type caching_sha2_password in MySQL-8. I found article here:

In MySQL 5.7, the default authentication plugin is mysql_native_password. As of MySQL 8.0, the default authentication plugin is changed to caching_sha2_password.

Please find the complete article here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html

Another way to resolve this issue, we can alter the user by changing authentication type from default caching_sha2_password to mysql_native_password. This is the similar way to do:

Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded
