# If you don’t current have an .htpasswd, use the “-c” option to create the file
# with the first user. It will prompt you for a password and encrypt it for you.
htpasswd -c /var/www/domain.com/public_html/.htpasswd user1
# If you already have the .htpasswd file and would like to append a new user,
# repeat the command with the “-c”
htpasswd /var/www/domain.com/public_html/.htpasswd user2
# .htpasswd is the standard file name that contains the authentication credentials,
# but you can actually call it whatever you want as long as you reference it in the
# .htaccess file:
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/domain.com/htdocs/.mycustompasswordfile
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user
