Create htaccess folder password with htpasswd

Lets create the .htaccess file first

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine off
</IfModule>
AuthName "Are You Real User"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/home/apweb/www/yourfolder/xo/.htpasswd"
require valid-user

Now we create the .htpasswd file, we have to generate the password so it will look like this

root:$apr1$2mMeQzaz$577FZ5p/E8EpdrsoVWFRg0

Please use the following URL to generate the username and the password

Finally copy and paste the generated code to your .htpasswd file and uplaod in to the server

Good Luck!
