Converting char* to string, then assigning to struct member: initialization makes integer from pointer

I will be receiving data for new users and parsing it using strtok(), which returns a char*. However, I am having trouble assigning the char* to my struct members, which are of the type char[]. I am getting the warning on line 52: Initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast. I don't understand why the compiler thinks I am making an integer from a pointer. I thought I was assigning a string (username) to a string type (char username[MAX_USERNAME_LEN + 1]).

Can someone please elaborate on my error (and perhaps give a suggestion on how to achieve my desired result)? Thanks in advance.

Output:

USER = alice, PASS = 1234 USER = �, PASS = p
