# Configure password authentication
## Edit chart config
Change the chart's config to disable `allow_anonymous` by setting authentication to `enabled`.
```yaml title="values.yaml"
auth:
# -- By enabling this, `allow_anonymous` gets set to `false` in the mosquitto config.
# highlight-next-line
enabled: true
```
## Create password and config files
Open the Mosquitto container shell and execute the following commands, *one by one*, in order:
```sh
cd /mosquitto/configinc
mosquitto_passwd -c passwordfile username
echo "password_file /mosquitto/configinc/passwordfile" > passwordconfig.conf
```
:::info These commands explained
- Navigate to `/mosquitto/configinc`, the persistent storage location inside the container where the password files go
- Create a password file. This is interactive. Change `username` to your username. It will ask you to input the password twice
- Create a config file that points to the password file
:::
:::caution Restart chart
Restart the chart so Mosquitto loads the new configuration file.
