Description:
When MySQL Server has custom authentication plugins enabled, it causes problems for Workbench in managing users.  While the auth plugins show in the "Authentication type" drop-down, trying to create new (or alter existing) accounts with such plugins causes an unhandled exception.

How to repeat:
Get and deploy a non-standard authentication plugin:

Try to create or manage an existing user with this plugin.

Suggested fix:
Eliminate error.
