Ye sorry for not being more clear, what i ment was - Test is not the password. the encrypted version of test is ''95x74hLDQKXI2''

Just to finish with a complete solution :

- Create a folder protect outside of your www folder

- Create a file named .htpasswd into protect folder

Add valid users in it, as user:md5_password (example here : user test / password beta)
=> Use this to generate one line : [aspirine.org])
Remember : You must place only one user:password per line



test:$apr1$IEbc5CFH$nuCPerNecAEolN2n/NpKV.


- Create a file named .htgroup into protect folder

Add valid groups in it, as group1:user1 user2...
Remember : You must place only one group:users per line



friends:test


- Create a file named .htaccess into desired folder

AuthUserFile D:\wamp\protect\.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile D:\wamp\protect\.htgroup
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
Require group friends

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

Satisfy Any

Using this structure, you can easily add others users, but only those in friends group will be able to access your homepage...
You can also use groups if you want to restrict parts in www folders (with another .htaccess for example).

Hope it will be useful...
