MySQL Workbench: "ssl is required but the server doesn't support it"

I'm having trouble finding answers with various Internet and Google searches for MySQL Workbench issue I'm experiencing.

I have not found any answers on how to make this work again.

Here's the MySQL Workbench error I'm having issues troubleshooting which I need help

mysql workbench failed to connect at localhost:3306 with user root ssl
connection error: ssl is required but the server doesn't support it

At least in MySQL Workbench community edition 8.0.27 no Use SSL option is not available. You could define useSSL parameter described in previous answer, in the Advance tab:
