Zowe Explorer 3.1.1 no longer allows profiles that have "user" and "password" in-lined in their properties

[Joe-Winchester]

Describe the bug
On systems where I don't have a secure credentials store, or where I'm not wanting to use it, it's possible to in-line user and password properties into a zowe.config.json profile, e.g.

 "zosmf_svl_09": {
     "type": "zosmf",
      "properties": {
         "host": "abc.host.england.com",
         "port": 443,
         "rejectUnauthorized": false,
         "protocol": "https",
         "user": "ME"
         "password": "LOVECOOKIE
     },
 },

It no longer seems to work with Zowe Explorer after upgrading to 3.1.1. It does work with 3.0.3 (I re-installed from .vsix to be sure the upgrade is what broke things).

To Reproduce
In-line "user" and "password" in a profile (i.e. don't use "secure").

Screenshots

• OS: Mac Sonoma 14.7.1
• Zowe Explorer Version: 3.1.1
• (Optional) Zowe CLI Version:
• (Optional) Are you using Secure Credential Store? Y

Failure under 3.1.1

Working under 3.0.3

When it fails there is a suspect error message about basicAuth and tokens, which may be the culprit for where the bug is hiding in the codebase

@Joe-Winchester Could you attach your complete zowe.config.json with any private info redacted? I've created a minimal config (contents below) that matches yours and haven't been able to reproduce the issue. I'm curious if there is some combination of zosmf and base profiles needed to cause the issue.
