With it, I do not need those really big security plugins, just combine it with other small plugins like 2fa. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6db1864367d82cf4d4c9ede1a16acd3229428fbc21d7232fff901dc3ff4aa0f4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-2791/)󠁿 [Nguyen Minh Hung](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nguyenminhhung/) Setyembre 10, 2024 1 na reply Works perfectly and doesn’t require complicated configuration.

Mille Grazie!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bravo-mille-grazie/)󠁿 [James Joseph Finn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jamesjosephfinn/) Hunyo 25, 2024 2 na mga reply Ciao from an Italian-American. The plugin works flawlessly. Thank you for publishing it. One question: After configuring the plugin, I was expecting to find a .htpasswd file in the root directory; but apparently the plugin sets Basic Auth in a manner different than the one I’m familiar with. I’m no backend dev, but I always love to learn. I’m wondering how this works under the hood to implement Apache Basic Auth. Thank you again, paisano.
