htpasswd generator

Type a username and password, pick a hashing algorithm, and copy the user:hash line for your Apache .htpasswd file. Hashing happens in your browser — your password is never uploaded.

Username

Password

Hashing algorithm

bcrypt cost10 Work factor (4–16). Higher = slower & stronger. 10–12 is typical.

Your .htpasswd line

Append this line to your .htpasswd file (one user per line), e.g.:

Everything runs in your browser. No upload, no sign-up.

How it works

STEP 1

Enter user & password

Type the username and the password you want to protect a folder or site with. Both stay on your device.

STEP 2

Pick an algorithm

Choose bcrypt (recommended), Apache MD5 (APR1) or SHA-1. A fresh random salt is generated for bcrypt and APR1.

STEP 3

Copy the line

Copy the user:hash line and append it to your .htpasswd file. One line per user — nothing leaves your browser.
