Create and edit the htpasswd file with the htpasswd
command:
Usage: htpasswd [-cmdpsD] passwordfile username htpasswd -b[cmdpsD] passwordfile username password htpasswd -n[mdps] username htpasswd -nb[mdps] username password -c Create a new file. -n Don't update file; display results on stdout. -m Force MD5 encryption of the password. -d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default). -p Do not encrypt the password (plaintext). -s Force SHA encryption of the password. -b Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it. -D Delete the specified user. On Windows, NetWare and TPF systems the '-m' flag is used by default. On all other systems, the '-p' flag will probably not work.
