The .htpasswd file will contain your username(s) and encrypted password(s) and will usually look like this:

Place the .htaccess file in the directory that is to be protected.

And place the .htpasswd outside the directory that is to be protected.

Example:
If you want to protect a directory "blog" under a particular domain
then the .htaccess file should be placed in the "blog" directory and the .htpasswd
the file should be placed in the "html " directory.

Note that all the directories that are created under the blog directory will also get protected.

And execute the command grpconv to rebuild the file.


You can now create the new account, without any error message.
