You can pass --askpass and redis will prompt you to type in your password:

redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 --askpass

If you're using Redis Access Control List - ACL (Redis 6 and above), you log in with --user and --pass:

redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 --user redis_user --pass 'redis_password'

or if you are already in redis-cli console you can authenticate with:

auth redis_user 'redis_password'

Maybe this would usefull to someone. If you have already open the redis-cli console window, you can type the authentication like this:

auth 'your-password'

and then the console would response with OK

If you have a '$' in your password then it won't work. So set the password without the "$".

My solution is put the password in single quotes like:

$redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -a 'thisizmy!PASS'

If you have '$' in your password, make sure to enclose the password with single quotes. Then it will work.
