With this generator it is possible to generate a Htpasswd. An user can enter his username and password. Based on the selection of the encryption method (Bcrypt, MD5, SHA-1, Crypt and Text ) the credentials are encrypted and can be copied and pasted into the own .htpasswd file. Once clicked on the generate button, the .htpasswd credentials are created. The .htpasswd credentials can be copied to the clipboard with the corresponding copy button.
A .htpasswd file contains one or more credentials that will be prompted for authentication when an user calls the corresponding web-page with a proxy server (i.e. Apache httpd or Nginx) that has enabled htaccess/htpasswd protection. The .htpasswd file location usually then is just is linked in the .htaccess file.
