Frequently Asked Questions

A .htpasswd file stores usernames and encrypted passwords. It works alongside Apache's .htaccess file to prompt visitors for a username and password before they can access a restricted directory. Our generator creates the exact encrypted string needed for this file.
Absolutely. The entire hashing process runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your plain-text password is never transmitted over the internet or stored on any server. This is a pure client-side tool, giving you maximum privacy.
SHA1 (RFC 2307) is strongly recommended as it is more cryptographically secure than MD5. MD5 (APR1) is older and widely supported, but SHA1 offers better protection against brute-force attacks. If your Apache server supports it (most modern ones do), always choose SHA1.
1. Paste the .htpasswd Entry into a file named .htpasswd and upload it to a secure location on your server (outside the public web root if possible).
2. Paste the .htaccess Configuration into a file named .htaccess and place it inside the directory you want to protect.
3. Verify that the path in AuthUserFile points correctly to your .htpasswd file.
The .htaccess format is specific to the Apache web server. Nginx and other servers have their own authentication mechanisms. However, the hashed password format generated here (SHA1 {SHA} or MD5 $1$) can sometimes be used with Nginx's ngx_http_auth_basic_module if configured properly.
