htaccess password protection can be very useful sometimes when we want only authorized users to access a certain webpage.
This can be achieved easily by creating two files :
- .htaccess
- .htpassword
You can create the username password file from this link :
https://hostingcanada.org/htpasswd-generator/
.htaccess file
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthUserFile {PATH_TO_HTPASSWORD_FILE}
Require valid-user
We will be using username and password as :
username : letstrythis
password : pass123
.htpassword file
letstrythis:{SHA}qv3COHDsvNPVV7ZCOomCE04Xkn4=
