Generate Basic Auth snippets for Apache
Password-protecting a staging folder or private demo on Apache usually needs both an .htaccess rule and an .htpasswd line. Enter the realm name, path to the .htpasswd file, username and password hash, then copy the snippets.
Bring your own password hash
This tool formats the snippets but does not create secure password hashes. Generate the hash on your server or with a trusted local tool, then paste it here.
Frequently asked questions
Does this create the password hash?
No. It formats snippets using a hash you provide.
Where does AuthUserFile point?
It should point to the absolute server path of the .htpasswd file.
Is Basic Auth enough for sensitive apps?
It is useful for simple protection, but sensitive systems need stronger access controls.
