I've run into issues with this, unfortunately Ron's solution probably won't work in terms of interoperability with an ASR (sorry to be the guy who links to his own question).

See: BGP authentication-key-chain vs. authentication-key

You cannot use the "authentication-key-chain" option here, you'll need to use "authentication-key".

protocols {
    bgp {
        group PEERS {
            neighbor 1.2.3.4 {
                    authentication-key YOURPASSWORDHERE; ## SECRET-DATA
            }
        }
    }
}

Set Syntax:

set protocols bgp group Peers neighbor 1.2.3.4 authentication-key YOURPASSWORDHERE

It issues with using "authentication-key-chain" have to do with how the options are conveyed to the neighbor via the TCP header.
