Best practices are to use the

authentication
Configure an optional password
of up to eight characters to be
used to authenticate VRRP peers
in their advertisements.
The password must be the same
on both members of the
redundant pair.
The password is sent in plain-text
and therefore should not be
treated as a security measure.
Rather, the purpose of the
password is to guard against
misconfigurations in the event
that other VRRP devices exist on
the same network.
Note: This parameter is supported
only for IPv4.

address that will be owned by the
