How to define a map in TOML?

For example, I want to define something like:

[FOO]

Usernames_Passwords='{"user1":"pass1","user2":"pass2"}'

and then in go convert them to a map[string]string

You can have maps like this:

name = { first = "Tom", last = "Preston-Werner" }
point = { x = 1, y = 2 }

See: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml#user-content-inline-table

In your case, it looks like you want a password table, or an array of maps. You can make it like this:

[[user_entry]]
name = "user1"
pass = "pass1"

[[user_entry]]
name = "user2"
pass = "pass2"

Or more concisely:

user_entry = [{ name = "user1", pass = "pass1" },
              { name = "user2", pass = "pass2" }]
