Htpasswd File Generator

Tool Introduction

This tool is designed to help you generate .htpasswd files online for Apache servers or other scenarios requiring user authentication. It supports multiple encryption algorithms, including MD5 (default), Plain (plaintext), Crypto, and SHA-1. You can choose the appropriate encryption method based on your needs.

How to Use

1. Enter the username you want to create in the "Username" input box.
2. Enter the user's password in the "Password" input box.
3. Select the desired encryption algorithm from the "Encryption Algorithm" dropdown menu. The default selection is "MD5 encryption".
4. Click the generate button, and the result will be displayed in the text box below.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What input formats are supported?
• A: Both username and password support any characters, but please be aware of the security of plaintext encryption.
• Q: What is the output format?
•  A: The output is a single line record in the .htpasswd file, containing the username, a colon, and the encrypted password.
• Q: What are the usage limitations?
•  A: This tool is only used to generate .htpasswd file content. You need to create and configure the .htpasswd file yourself. Do not use plaintext encryption in a production environment.

Notes

• Be sure to properly store the generated .htpasswd file to prevent leakage.
• Avoid using overly simple passwords to increase the difficulty of password cracking.
• When choosing an encryption algorithm, please select based on server requirements. Some servers may only support specific encryption algorithms.
• Plaintext encryption has low security and is not recommended for use in production environments.
• Ensure that the username meets server requirements and avoid using illegal characters.
