registry-secrets does not accept an auth token

[Page-]

When using a registry-secrets file with an auth token instead of hardcoded username/password I get the following error

Error validating registry secrets file "registry.json":
data['auths'] should NOT have additional properties

Additional information may be available by setting a DEBUG=1 environment
variable: "set DEBUG=1" on a Windows command prompt, or "export DEBUG=1"
on Linux or macOS.

For what it is worth -- probably only loosely related to this issue -- I know that the password field can be used to store the yaml-escaped contents of a Google Container Registry "keyfile.json" file. balena help push prints an outline for it:

$ balena help push
...
Sample registry-secrets YAML file:

	'eu.gcr.io':  # Google Container Registry
		username: '_json_key'
		password: '{escaped contents of the GCR keyfile.json file}'

I actually messed up the file format somewhat because I thought it match the format of .docker/config.json so the correct error for using an auth token instead is actually:

Error validating registry secrets file "registry.json":
data['https://index.docker.io/v1/'] should NOT have additional properties

Additional information may be available by setting a DEBUG=1 environment
variable: "set DEBUG=1" on a Windows command prompt, or "export DEBUG=1"
on Linux or macOS.
