.htpasswd File Creator

Generate .htpasswd hashes from usernames and passwords. Supports multiple users, method selection, copy-paste, and download.

※Passwords are hashed immediately after input and not sent to servers.\nbcrypt method is recommended. MD5, SHA, crypt, plain are deprecated/reference only.

How to Use

  1. STEP 1
    Enter username and password, select hash method, and click "Generate" to create .htpasswd hashes.
  2. STEP 2
    Supports multiple users. Generated results can be copied or downloaded.
  3. STEP 3
    The recommended method is "bcrypt".
  • Store generated hashes in a secure location.
  • Passwords with 8+ characters combining letters, numbers, and symbols are safer.
  • We are not responsible for any leaks or damages from information generated by this service.
  • BASIC authentication is not suitable for uses requiring high security.

Tips

1

BASIC authentication is a simple method but should always be used with HTTPS for security.

2

bcrypt is the most secure hash method and is recommended for production environments.

3

Regularly update passwords and use strong, unique passwords for each user.

4

Keep .htpasswd files outside the web root directory to prevent direct access.

5

For high-security applications, consider more advanced authentication methods like OAuth or JWT.

FAQ

  • QUESTION 1

    What is .htpasswd?

    A user information file for BASIC authentication on web servers like Apache. It stores usernames and hashed passwords for access control.

  • QUESTION 2

    How does BASIC authentication work?

    Users enter ID and password in browser, server verifies them against the .htpasswd file. Communication is plain text, so SSL/TLS encryption is essential for security.

  • QUESTION 3

    What is it used for?

    Simple access control for test environments, internal pages, and development servers. Not recommended for production sites requiring high security.

  • QUESTION 4

    What's the difference between hash methods?

    bcrypt provides strong security with salt and work factor. MD5 and SHA-1 are deprecated due to vulnerabilities. crypt is legacy and should be avoided.

  • QUESTION 5

    What if I forget my password?

    Re-issuing or creating new ones is necessary. Hashed passwords cannot be reversed to recover original passwords. Always keep backup copies of original passwords.
