Access denied for user 'homestead@localhost'

Running into a bit of a problem here...

Error I get:

Any ideas why it's showing the error? Looking around, it seems like it would be an issue with the .env or database.php files, but this seems not to be the case for me... I don't see why it is trying to use homestead@localhost to begin with...

Also, I am able to run migrations just fine, and the tables show up in the mysql database.
