Embarrased to ask! Embedded mqtt config simple?

Configuration
1

Hi ,

New to mqtt. I have looked through dozens of vids and read pages of instructions.
I’m told that setting up the embedded mqtt in hass is very simple. As simple as entering mqtt:
in the config.yaml
Which I have done. I still get an error on the front end" config error"

I have spaced the text properly , I think, as I have read not to "tab " indents.
If it’s so simple, why is it not working? Very frustrating.

btw I took programming in college so I know it’s something embarrassingly stupid!

Is there any more information in the “config error”? Try checking the logs and posting the details if you can’t figure it out.

There should not be any spaces (or tabs). The mqtt: should start in the first column.

You need set password

mqtt:
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD
