As per the wp-cli valet README, the “Access Denied” error is because wp-cli needed a password to connect to the local (brewed) mysql.

I didn’t have one set as was able to login to mysql as root without one:

```
mysql -uroot
#
```

So I set one: `$(brew --prefix mysql)/bin/mysqladmin -u root password apassword`

Now I can spin up WP sites like:

```
wp valet new site --dbpass=apassword
Don't go anywhere, this should only take a second...
Success: site ready! https://site.test
```

Loading over https, too!

I even added the password to `~/.wp-cli/config.yml` and now don’t need to add the flag.

Now I have updated the configuration and `project: bedrock` is working, too.
