Generate a .htpasswd password for Apache

Create your passwords with this .htpasswd generator for Apache. Just enter your password and the tool will encrypt it ready for inclusion in .htpasswd . You can also override the salt generated by this tool by providing it manually.

Once you have hashed your password, you need to add your username and save it in a file called .htpasswd . Each line is for a user following this specification: :. For example: testuser:$1$yoXrXDSg$WibNw2BwmOzzyKZe7s./O1

The .htpasswd file is then included in an .htaccess file. You can find out more about the .htpasswd file generation looking at the Apache htpasswd documentation.
