I get the error:

(error) NOAUTH Authentication required.

When in redis-cli and trying to display the KEYS *. I've only set a requirepass not an auth afaiac. I'm in the redis.conf but do not know what to do.

Setting the requirepass configuration directive causes the server to require password authentication with the AUTH command before sending other commands. The redis.conf file states that clearly:

Require clients to issue AUTH before processing any other
commands. This might be useful in environments in which you do not trust
others with access to the host running redis-server.

  • Usually have a password for security, probably best to provide a solution than enables the ability to put in the password – Alex Stewart Apr 23 '20 at 7:48
