hi,
I got stuck at min 1:58 when trying to save the credential username and password, it say "Failed to save add-on configuration, Invalid list for option 'logins' in Mosquitto broker (core_mosquitto). Got {'logins': {'username': 'mqttuser', 'password': 'password'}, 'require_certificate': False, 'certfile': 'fullchain.pem', 'keyfile': 'privkey.pem', 'customize': {'active': False, 'folder': 'mosquitto'}}

any explanation why?
