.htaccess Password Generator Tool

This page enables you to generate encrypted .htaccess passwords from your desktop. It is important that you read  the document 'Security-Instructions.shtml' for step-by-step instructions on password protecting your web pages. Establishing login security for your web folder(s) is not a difficult task but a very specific and tedious task that includes numerous steps. This generation of encrypted passwords is only a small subset of procedures that need to be done before security can be implemented.
