Apache tools

Prepare password-file entries for an Apache site that needs restricted access, such as a staging environment or a client preview. This group connects credential generation with the server configuration needed to use the resulting file.

The htpasswd generator creates a username and password-hash entry in bcrypt or legacy APR1 format, ready to copy or download. Generating the entry does not enable access control by itself. Follow the tool’s configuration example or the walkthrough for protecting an Apache staging site to understand where the file fits.
