TencentDB for Redis supports both password-enabled and password-free access.

Note：

• For the sake of data security, you are not recommended to enable password-free access.
• After password-free access is enabled, you are recommended to limit the number of accessing servers using a security group.

Setting Password-free Access

Select password-free access when creating an instance

1. Log in to Redis Console, and click Create Instance above the instance list.
2. Select Password Exemption Authentication in the Set Password option on the instance purchase page. After the instance is created successfully, it can be accessed without password.
   

Enable password-free access for existing instances

In the instance list, click an instance name to enter the instance details page, and click Password Exemption Access in "Configuration Info" > "Connection Password".

Viewing Password-free Access Status

In the instance list, click an instance name to enter the instance details page, and you can view whether the instance has enabled password exemption access in "Configuration Info" > "Connection Password".

Disabling Password-free Access
