    Description

      This was checked with PT 3.0.7

      Looks like this:

      # Security ###################################################
                          Users |
                  Old Passwords | 0
      

      Users is always empty if version is 5.7 or 8.0.
      Query being used to retrieve this is:

        928 collect_mysql_users () {
        929    $CMD_MYSQL $EXT_ARGV -ss -e 'SELECT COUNT(*), SUM(user=""), SUM(password=""), SUM(password NOT LIKE "*%") FROM mysql.user' 2>/dev/null
        930 }
      

      But password column was removed from mysql.user table in version 5.7.6 and replaced with authentication_string:

      Incompatible change: The Password column of the mysql.user table was removed in MySQL 5.7.6. All credentials are stored in the authentication_string column, including those formerly stored in the Password column. If performing an in-place upgrade to MySQL 5.7.6 or later, run mysql_upgrade as directed by the in-place upgrade procedure to migrate the Password column contents to the authentication_string column.
