How to set username/password mosquitto?

I used the mosquitto_passwd command to create a password file.

mosquitto_passwd /etc/mosquitto/passwd admin 

I added the path to my password file in mosquitto.conf:

password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd 

But when i subscribe or publish it doesn't require username/password?

mosquitto_sub  -t '#' -d Client mosqsub/19032-Dell sending CONNECT Client mosqsub/19032-Dell received CONNACK Client mosqsub/19032-Dell sending SUBSCRIBE (Mid: 1, Topic: #, QoS: 0) Client mosqsub/19032-Dell received SUBACK Subscribed (mid: 1): 0 

What did I miss?
