Note that many of the reasons for the existence of this script no longer apply. In particular, from MariaDB 10.4, Unix socket authentication is applied by default, and there is usually no need to create a root password. See Authentication from MariaDB 10.4.

From MariaDB 10.5, the client is called mariadb-secure-installation. It can still be accessed under its original mysql_secure_installation name via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.

See mariadb-secure-installation for details.
