Bug #87107 "Install Helper" connection is denied with password end with '#'

Description:
When Workbench connect to MySQL 5.6 (without sys shema) and select PERFORMANCE section, Message is 'The Performance Schema helper schema(sys) is not installed'.

Then pushed 'Install Helper' will be sys schema installed.

But the connection's password uses end with '#', sys installer show errors like this.

Error installing sys Schema.
ERROR 1045(28000): Access Denied for user 'msandbox'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

At that time I use these user & password pair

User: msandbox
Password: msandbox#

How to repeat:
(1) Make user have all privilege and use password end with '#'.
(2) Connect to MySQL 5.6( with no sys schema)
(3) select PERFORMANCE and push 'Install Helper'

Suggested fix:
Should work with password end with '#'.

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.
