Not possible when using HTTP.

What you can do to protect the authentication data is to switch to using
Digest HTTP authentication instead of Basic HTTP authentication. This
exchanges the authentication data in a secure manner.

To set up Digest authentication you need to upgrade to Squid-2.5.STABLE2
and use a browser which has support for Digest authentication. The
password file will also be different.
