"It is possible to authenticate the OSPF packets such that routers can
participate in routing domains based on predefined passwords. By default, a
router uses a Null authentication which means that routing exchanges over a
network are not authenticated. Two other authentication methods exist:
Simple password authentication and Message Digest authentication (MD-5)."

So, we normally use null unless we configure authentication.
