This is possible only if the user can be uniquely identified by the IP
address. You can then plug in the needed details to Squid via the
external_acl_type directive.

Using Digest authentication is another option. Reasonably secure, and
reasonable support in most browsers. Problem is on the server side where
it's not easy to integrate with existing password databases as the proxy
never sees the plain-text password..
