Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/898

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The MQTT function works great but doesn't allow connections to MQTT servers that require authentication.

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to use authentication with the MQTT feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I haven't considered any as I don't know what's needed to implement this feature!

In my case I meant username and password but MQTT also allows for X509 certificate authentication and client ID authentication.

Client ID can be used as a standalone authentication method, as an additional layer to basic auth (so that username, password and client ID must match) or a simple client identifier (which I use it for).

Postwoman uses paho-mqtt library

I don't see certificate base authentication option available (Correct me if i am wrong). Any suggestions?

Sorry for the delay in replying! Unfortunately that side of things is a little beyond me. Certificate authentication is definitely a thing though but maybe it's just not supported by Paho?

Adding auth to MQTT broker isn't in roadmap. Hence closing this issue for now.
