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
