🧠 .htpasswd Generator

The .htpasswd file is used by Apache HTTP Server to store usernames and passwords for basic authentication. Each line contains a username and encrypted password. Hash Types: • APR1: Apache's MD5-based algorithm (recommended for Apache) • MD5: Basic MD5 hash (less secure) • SHA-1: SHA-1 hash (legacy, not recommended) • Crypt: Unix DES encryption (very legacy) • Plain: Unencrypted (never use in production) Usage: 1. Create .htpasswd file with generated entries 2. Configure Apache with AuthUserFile directive 3. Set up .htaccess or virtual host configuration 4. Enable mod_auth_basic module Example Apache configuration: AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd Require valid-user
