So confused. I have a user called "mqtt" showing up in visibility area of dashboard settings but not in user list. Screenshots attached

Can someone please explain to me whats going on with the subject/ screenshots below. I completely confused.

Am I missing an area, because for some reason the mqtt user is not being shown in the “people” settings screen?

Essentially, this inspection started because I am trying to setup espresence and can’t figure out my mqtt users password.

And now that I’ve started looking into it, the above screens have me completely confused.

When I go into the mosquitto broker add on area, below is what I see. It looks as if there are no users/ passwords setup. However, I currently have items in my home assistant setup that work using mqtt topics.

Thank you all for any guidance you can give me on this whole thing. I know it seems like a big web, and that is exactly what my home assistant instance feels like. haha. I have a much more complex home assistant instance that I should do to copying so much from others.

It all works but I am lost when it comes to maintaining it sometimes.
Thank you all again!!

There’s a difference between “People” and “Users”, which you will see if you go into “Settings > People”, where there’s a tab for each. Not all people need to login and not all user accounts are people.

I only have login/password in Mosquitto broker

logins:
  - username: mqttuser
    password: yourpassword

now in tasmota

Backlog ssid1 IOT; password1 88888888; mqtthost 192.xxxx.x.xx; mqttuser mqttuser; mqttpassword yourpassword;

In Frigate

mqtt:
  enabled: true
  host: mqttIP
  user: mqttuser
  password: yourpassword

Where can I find the “users” area then? Sorry for the basic question. (Apparently, I found the “people” area).

Geeze, I’m sorry. I didn’t see the tabs at the bottom to switch between the two. Geesh, I apologize again.

Thank you for your explanations!
