The httpauth command lets you manage user access to pages protected by HTTP Authentication. Use it to secure any folder, file, or even an entire site by requiring a username and password.
This extra layer of protection is enabled by default for WordPress login pages and the Webinoly Admin Tools section, helping defend against automated attacks and unauthorized access. It’s a simple yet effective way to safeguard sensitive areas of your site.
