Frequently Asked Questions

What is htpasswd?

htpasswd is a file format with usernames and password hashes for Basic Auth in nginx, Apache, and compatible setups.

What should a .htpasswd line look like?

Usually username:hashed_password. The password must not be stored in plain text.

Can plain password be used?

No. .htpasswd requires a password hash. Plain password is insecure and must not appear in the final file.

Which algorithm should I choose?

For new configs prefer bcrypt if your server supports it. Apache MD5 apr1 may be needed for older setups.

Is htpasswd suitable for nginx?

Yes. nginx usually connects .htpasswd via auth_basic_user_file.

Is htpasswd suitable for Apache?

Yes. Apache uses .htpasswd with AuthType Basic, AuthName, AuthUserFile, and Require valid-user.

Must HTTPS be used?

Yes. Basic Auth sends credentials with every request, so use it only over HTTPS.

Can .htpasswd be committed to git?

No. Do not commit .htpasswd or real passwords to git. Store credentials in a password manager and on the server.

Are username and password sent to the server?

No. Generation should run locally in the browser without sending username and password to the server.

Do I need to register?

No. The tool works without registration.
