How to set up .htpasswd in a site ?
Step 1 : create file .htpasswd and put out side our root folder but inside www for safety.
Step 2 : open the file .htpasswd and add like username:password -> then save and close. So now file contains
username:password
Step 3 : Add the following in .htaccess file
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile D:/wamp/www/.htpasswd # full path to .htpasswd file
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

Now open you site http://mysite.com
