# Redis Authentication

 * I have authentication set up in my Redis config file set using the “requirepass”
   setting. If I disable this setting, I am able to connect to Redis through the
   W3TC Plugin. However, if I put any password at all in the “requirepass” setting
   and likewise put that password in the “Redis Password” field in the W3TC plugin,
   the test fails to connect to the Redis instance. Is there a different form of
   authentication that I need to set on Redis for W3TC?
