Htpasswd Generator
Generate .htpasswd lines using SHA-1 or plain text.
Credentials
Generated .htpasswd lines
SHA-1 format ({SHA} — supported by Apache & Nginx)
Plain text (for reference only — never deploy this)
{SHA} is a fast, unsalted hash — fine for quick internal use but weak against offline cracking. For production basic-auth files prefer bcrypt (htpasswd -B), which isn't available via Web Crypto and must be generated with the Apache htpasswd CLI or an equivalent bcrypt library.
About the Htpasswd Generator
Create .htpasswd entries for HTTP Basic Authentication using the Web Crypto SHA-1 digest format supported by Apache and Nginx, plus a plain-text reference line. Bcrypt output isn't available via Web Crypto — use the Apache htpasswd CLI for production-grade hashing.
