Try avoid using a static class and use DI

namespace MyNamespace {

  public interface IConfig {
    string Username { get; }
    string Password { get; }
  }


  public class Config : IConfig {
    public Config(IConfiguration configuration) {
      _configuration = configuration;
    }
    readonly IConfiguration _configuration;
    public string Username => _configuration["Username"];
    public string Password => _configuration["Password"];
  }


}

The setup DI in StartUp class

public class Startup {
  public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
    //...
    services.AddTransient(); 
    ...
  }
}

And use it like so

  public class TestUsage {
    public TestUsage(IConfig config) {
      _config = config;
    }
    readonly IConfig _config;
    public string Username => _config.Username;
    public string Password => _config.Password;
  }
