Use the htpasswd generator to create passwords for htpasswd files.

Just enter username and password and an entry for a htpasswd file is generated. You can use the htaccces Authentication generator to create a htaccess file that will password protect your site or a directory. This htpasswd generator creates passwords that are hashed using the MD5 algorithm, which means that you can use it for sites hosted on any platform, including Windows and Linux. You can also create htpasswd passwords with PHP on your own server – this technique only works on Linux though.

Enter the username you would like to add your .htpasswd file.
Enter the pasword to be encrypted.

We do NOT log ANY data entered in this form.

If you're looking for additional information on htaccess please see our .htaccess guide containing over 25 individual tutorials.
