htpasswd Generator
Generate htpasswd lines for Apache/Nginx Basic Auth from a username and password (Web Crypto SHA)

🔒 Everything runs 100% in your browser. Your files and input are never uploaded to any server.
Enter a username and password and this tool generates, right in your browser, a line you can add to Apache or Nginx Basic Auth (.htpasswd). It uses the browser's built-in Web Crypto to create {SHA} (SHA-1) or {SHA256} hashes, and can also combine several accounts into a single .htpasswd file.
How to use
- Enter a username and password (usernames can't contain spaces or colons).
- Choose a hash method: {SHA} (SHA-1) or {SHA256}.
- Review the generated htpasswd line and copy it with 'Copy Line'.
- If you need multiple accounts, use 'Add to File' to collect them and copy the entire .htpasswd file at once.
FAQ
- How do I apply the generated file?
- In Apache, specify the path to the generated .htpasswd file with AuthUserFile; in Nginx, with auth_basic_user_file, and it can be used for Basic Auth. Each line is in the format 'username:hash'.
- Is the {SHA} method secure?
- {SHA} (SHA-1) is an unsalted hash, suitable for quick setup and convenience. For security-critical services, bcrypt (htpasswd -B) with salt and iterated computation is recommended, but bcrypt can't be generated in the browser, so this tool provides the SHA method.
- Is the password I enter sent to a server?
- No. Hash computation happens entirely in the browser's Web Crypto API, and your username and password are never transmitted to or stored on a server.
