This problem occurs when we have installed MySQL Workbench from Ubuntu Software with snap and we have not assigned sufficient permissions. The error usually occurs when we try to make a connection since we need to save passwords or allow the use of SSH keys.

Solution

To solve this error we have two alternatives. The first one is to run the following commands to configure the password and SSH keys management service.

snap connect mysql-workbench-community:password-manager-service
snap connect mysql-workbench-community:ssh-keys

The second option is to go directly to Ubuntu Software and search for MySQL Workbench again. We must click on permissions and enable the options "Read, add, change, or remove saved passwords" and "ssh-keys: allows reading ssh user configuration and keys".
