+## Auth with password and username
+
+Specifying the password in the URL or a root node will only affect the connection to that specific node. In case you want to set the password for all the connections being created from a cluster instance, use the `defaults` option.
+```javascript
+createCluster({
+  rootNodes: [{
+    url: 'redis://10.0.0.1:30001'
+  }, {
+    url: 'redis://10.0.0.2:30002'
+  }],
+  defaults: {
+    username: 'username',
+    password: 'password'
+  }
+});
+```
