 The [`ACL WHOAMI`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/acl-whoami/) command is used to return the username the current connection is authenticated with.
 
 In Redis, every new connection is automatically authenticated using the `default` user. This feature can be turned off, making every new connection unauthenticated at first. We'll get to that in the later stages.

+For example
