Security Tool
Htpasswd Generator
Generate .htpasswd entries in multiple formats.
crypt format output: username:abcdefghijklm
Use this when you want old-style short hashes similar to older online .htpasswd generators. Compatibility depends on the server still supporting traditional crypt.
How to use
- 1. Choose the output format that matches your server or existing .htpasswd file.
- 2. Enter a username and password, then click Generate to create one .htpasswd line.
- 3. Copy the generated line and save it in a .htpasswd file on the server.
.htaccess example
A typical Apache Basic Auth configuration looks like this. Adjust the path to your actual .htpasswd location.
Setup notes
- Store the .htpasswd file outside the public web root when possible.
- Use the same hash format your server already supports.
- If authentication does not work, check file paths, permissions, and server module support.
Use case
A good default for Security tasks when you want a quick, local-only check without leaving the browser.
