It's very easy, follow these steps.
Open notepad and past the code below and save as .htaccess
In the code above you see 1 and 2
1. Replace with the message that will be displayed to the users. Like "Restricted Area"
2. Replace with the path to the directory where this file is stored .htpasswd. If the file is stored in private directory then enter: /private/.htpasswd
Now we have to create .htpasswd file that will contain our username and password.
Important! Password has to be (MD5) encrypted. The entry should look like this, one username and password per line: victor:12yJ.Of/NQ.Pk
victor is username and 12yJ.Of/NQ.Pk is password.
You can use this tool: .htpasswd Username & Password Generator
