You can handle Redis authentication errors by listening to the 'error' event on the Redis client object. Within the error handler, you can check the error message to determine if it's an authentication failure and take appropriate action, such as logging the error, retrying with a different password (if available), or terminating the application. Here is an example:
```javascript
client.on('error', err => {
if (err.message.includes('invalid password')) {
console.error('Redis authentication failed!');
} else {
console.error('Redis Client Error', err);
}
});
```
