Sorry, but this is not at all what credentialsttl does.

credentialsttl will make Squid requery the authentication helper after
a set time period (default 2 hours). It is not related to
when/how/why the user may need to reauthenticate himself. The latter
is a business between the user and his browser alone and outside the
control of Squid. The browser authenticates to Squid on each and
every request sent to the proxy.
