There is a very simple and quick way to protect a website or web directory using .htaccess and .htpasswrd. This can be a very efficient way for web designers to protect web pages or sites in progress. The effect will be that any user trying to access the protected directory will be prompted by a password request.

AuthType Basic
AuthName "restricted area"
AuthUserFile /path/to/the/directory/you/are/protecting/.htpasswd
