Not as of right now.

This could be a good feature to implement for someone that's interested in contributing.

Unlike reference (node_exporter basic auth encryption, where node_exporter acts as a server to authenticate HTTP passwords and can use password hash functions to store hashed passwords, redis_exporter is different—we need to provide plaintext passwords for Redis to verify.
