    JAVASCRIPT AJAX WITH HTTP AUTH

https://code-boxx.com/http-basic-authentication-ajax/
NOTES


This example is based on an Apache Web Server.
Run unpack.bat (Windows) unpack.sh (Linux/Mac). This will:

Create a protected folder.
Move .htaccess, .htpasswd, secret.html inside.


Edit protected\.htaccess, set AuthUserFile to the correct file path.
Access http://YOURSITE.com/main.html.

ADDING MORE USERS TO HTPASSWD


htpasswd is usually placed inside apache\bin folder.
htpasswd -c YOUR\PROJECT\FOLDER\.htpasswd USER.
Just enter the password.
If you need to add more users, run htpasswd again, without -c option - htpasswd FOLDER\.htpasswd USER2.
Alternatively, just use any "online htpasswd generator".
