mqtt_user is missing or not saved into the config

Describe the bug
After configuring the RF gateway through Wifi Manager, MQTT login failed, when I checked the Serial console for details, I cannot see the mqtt_user value I setup on the config page.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. After firmware upload, configure the device through the website
2. Check through serial console if you see mqtt_user info.

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OpenMQTTGateway v0.9.5
• I also tried, OpenMQTTGateway v0.9.4
• nodemcuv2-rf-firmware.bin I used

Could you indicate the length of your mqtt_user?

[gborus]

Hey,

yeah, I tried 'test' and 'a' as well, but the result was the same.

thanks,

This is due to the length of your mqtt password, the max size is 60

[gborus]

cool, that's easy to fix, let me try, will report back shortly

[gborus]

this gonna take sometime, I used the auto generated homeassitant mqtt user and pwd, but that's I cannot change through the web interface, I need to dig into it.
probably this will be an issue for new homeassistant users. What do you think?

If you add a new user into home assistant and use it for OMG you should be ok

[gborus]

Thank you, that helped. I created a homeassitant account for the bridge and with the shorter password I can see now the mqtt user password in the serial console also managed to connect to the broker.
