      | CREATE USER for mysql.sys@localhost                                                                                                                                          |

      mysql> CREATE USER 'mysql.XXX'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS 'maybe this can be anything' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT LOCK;
      ERROR 1827 (HY000): The password hash doesn't have the expected format. Check if the correct password algorithm is being used with the PASSWORD() function.
       
      mysql>  CREATE USER 'mysql.ZZZZ'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS '!WALKISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDFOOD' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT LOCK;
      ERROR 1827 (HY000): The password hash doesn't have the expected format. Check if the correct password algorithm is being used with the PASSWORD() function.
      mysql>  CREATE USER 'mysql.ZZZZ'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS '*WALKISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDfood' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT LOCK;

      So begins with '*' and has the right length is the compatibility to aim for if supporting the mysql-5.7 syntax/definitions. The use of non-hex characters however make it invalid.
