Htpasswd generator
Overview
.htaccess files can be used to restrict access to web pages on an Apache web server. A simple access control mode provided by Apache is called basic authentication. Usernames and passwords are stored in a file called .htpasswd; passwords are encrypted.
This tool generates a line that can be directly added into the .htpasswd for a given login and password.
For more info, please refer to the Apache documentation on
authentication,
authorization and access control and especially mod_auth_basic.
Enter username and password
Remarks
- When choosing encryption mode, "Unix" means "all platforms but Windows, Netware and TPF" and "Windows" means "Windows, Netware and TPF".
- You may wonder if it is secure to enter your username and your password in this form. I do not log entries, and even if I did, I wouldn't know where you use these identifiers. You can also check the source.
