Description:
We have upgraded the MySQL version from 8.0.40 to 8.4.6, as 8.0.40 has reached end of life (EOL). However, we are unable to find a corresponding MySQL Workbench version for 8.4 in the software downloads.
We are encountering errors when attempting to reset user passwords using MySQL Workbench, which appears to be a version compatibility issue.
This has become a significant concern, as users are currently unable to rotate their passwords independently and are having to reach out to the DBAs for assistance.
Please address this at the earliest.

Error is : parameter is not valid

How to repeat:
Reset the user password using the latest version of MySQL Workbench while connected to MySQL 8.4.6. You will encounter the error.

Suggested fix:
Provide the MySQL Workbench version 8.4.6 and above softwares

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
