If you enter the same name and password in the same case more than once you get a different code! All the different strings work with the same name and password. EG. Name='name', password='password' name:76umD9fPv0k2g name:35Ll2Q1/BozcQ name:83qv92pCVqzk6 name:47amUs3AWvq5A

So, the password hashes you provide are in obsolete format and don`t work. For anybody who need a password generator i recommend using "htpasswd" utility which is the Apache`s package. The commands are: 1. to CREATE the .htpasswd file use: htpasswd -cmb .htpasswd USER PASSWORD 2. To ADD more users in the existing file use: htpasswd -cmb .htpasswd USER PASSWORD 3. To DELETE a user from existing file use: htpasswd -D .htpasswd USER 4. To just display the result line (no need to provide a filename): htpasswd -nmb USER PASSWORD Windows users can find the tool in the Apache`s install directory, in the "bin" folder. webmaster@4webhelp.net: be aware, your POST variables are not well sanitized, an sql injection can be possible. (I`ve got this: There was an error adding your comments to the database: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near .... at line 4)

Love it. Thank you!!!

This is what I put in the .htaccess file AuthUserFile /absolute/path/.htpasswd AuthName "Restricted" AuthType Basic require valid-user

According to Apache manual, maximum length would be limited to 255 characters. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/programs/htpasswd.html
matugm
The maxium length with the default encryption algorithm is 8,so if you use a longer password it will be trimmed without notice,if you want to use a longer password you can use the htpasswd tool with the -s switch.
Matt
Itried this online tool, and it worked perfectly: http://apps.mathieu-rodic.com/Encryption/.htpasswd-Generator

Big thanks to 4webhelp and Tim Woolfson who shared his php. With his script I found the correct path, that I alway suspected was the problem, and resolved the issue! I now have a password-protected site.

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None ## change to AllowOverride AuthConfig ## if you want to use .htaccess to control ## password access.

Hi, Have a nice weekends. It's a great tool. Could you mail me the SoftWare Please?Thank you!
Neil
Can anyone give a definitive answer to what the maximum allowable password length please? I'm using htpasswd on a BSD system and my server will let me access the protected directory if I enter just the first 8 characters even though my password is 9 characters long. Does this have something to do with a flaw in whatever's being used to encode/encrypt the password? Thanks!
Klinggon22
This works just fine. If all your other steps are done correctly this does encrypt the password just fine. Thanks for supply it.
K
Works like a charm. Thank you so much!

THIS IS SO WRONG! It doesn't work, the encryptions just outputs rubbish sigh (and double sigh to all these [insert female name] comments)

PRV2 Admin
Guys i have asked a question here but it was removed by the site admin!!! I need your help on how to create and link the .htaccess and the .htpasswd files to gather instep to create password protected directories? am using Linux based web hosting for the website and i need to protect some folders with password, any help would be really appreciated, thank you all inhere, hope you will help me? http://www.prv2.com
wayne
Ive tried EVERYTHING I can think of. I'm almost positive my path is correct and it still says my username/password is invalid? any ideas?
jaws
Just want to comment: This tool is not for everyone. If you are running apache in windows you need to use MD5 encryption for passwords. This tool does not seems to do that. I am guessing that it uses the crypt function. To generate the correct ones with MD5Encryption just go to the bin dir for apache and run htpasswd.exe. -c [location of .htaccess] [username] It will prompt you for a password. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/htpasswd.html

Excellent tool, works as said to.

Could you just state what the maximum password length is, please? Can it work with 20-character passwords?
Travis Longley
How come my passwords dont have to be encrypted?...I was trying to figure this out forever but if my username was admin and the password was admin too the entry in the .htpasswd file would look like Admin:Admin How Come?
Am I going made passwords don't match
Hi, I've used free htaccess password encription sites for years. However I've tried to create a new one today using the user name and password of admin / apple. However, with each attempt the encrypted password is different. admin:847JKPnLAjPPc admin:93qbg0W7frhPQ admin:26Dv7rhFZ7CUA What is going on?
Afzal
I am new to this htaccess business, i am in the proces of building a website with web hosting company. I have managed to create the pop up box and everyting, but i cannot seem to get my head the on why it does not accept the encryted login. I have been reading a lot on ht access, and some of it, is not making much sence. Do i have to install PHP, Apache on my Windows O/S. Can someone please advice
Simon
Hi, how can i find out the true path to put into my .htaccess file? i think thats what isn't working at the moment it asks for password though, just doesn't seem to want to read the .htpasswd file with the answers in help much appreciated Sx
heather
i love you. i really do. telnet directions were bothering me for 2 hours straight. this is just amazing. thank you.
Mickay
Great stuff! Cheers to the person who came up with the idea to get the server path using php! I cant believe i didnt think of it! =P me being a genious and all =P
Ramsey
NOTE: On Godaddys server, that php code to see the path to the root directory will not show the whole thing, but godaddy's help menu show's what the code leaves out.
Jean
I was having problems determining the full path to my root directory. I'm very thankful to the person who posted the small php file to extract the path. Now why didn't I think of that... Doh!! Thanks again, Jean Bisson
Tim Woolfson
Hi all, It seems to me that relative paths from .htaccess to .htpasswd don't work - or at least not on my ISPs configuration. I wrote a simple PHP file called whereami.php like this. <?php $dir = dirname(__FILE__); echo $dir ?> Uploaded it to the relevant directory then opened it in a browser. That gave me the path and resolved the issue. Hope that helps you. Tim Woolfson Internet Marketng Consultant (UK and Spain) http://www.pwp1.com
Ramsey
This is perfect!! After 2 day's of tring to figure this out and get Apache dowloaded, some one sends me this site and it saves me!! Great job!
Thomas Walde-Jensen
Thanks. After fiddling with the true path for about half an hour i got it to work beautifully.
Paul
Have the same very annoying problem of finding HTACCESS no longer works. I have wasted 6 hours trying to discover how the problem can be resolved - but without success Our configuration is Apache 2.0.54 (Fedora) Appreciate any ideas www.g56.net Thanks, Paul.
