Sure, at least if it's basic authentication being used. Just use a dummy
basic auth helper anything as valid.

Or you could spend a few minutes adding the code needed for Squid to
sniff the username from basic or digest auth headers if available,
without actually requesting authentication.

It's also possible to sniff the username from NTLM authentication, but
considerably harder as the NTLM blobs needs to be parsed and
understood..
