This article defines the Apache .htpasswd file and how it functions with an Apache HTTP server.
Definition
The Apache HTTP server allows a user to configure two files which restrict access to content by "authorized" eyes only. Passwords will be stored in an encrypted format and the username will be in plaintext. One of these files which create this restricted access is the Apache .htpasswd file, a flat-file used to store usernames and password for basic authentication on an Apache HTTP Server.

Purpose
You can edit your Apache .htpasswd file(s) using FTP, SiteWorx, or by contacting our 24/7 support team with your request.
If you are proficient with FTP and SSH, it is also possible to cs.
