Re: Help - Password protecting directories

I just tripled checked it and went through all my directories making sure there isnt any other htaccess files, besides the one i made for error pages.

I did notice on the password hash website provided, if I enter the same password twice, it gives me 2 different hashes? Are there multiple hashes for the same password? I was under the impression the same password would always return the same hash. Could that be the issue ?

Yes, it is correct for it to give you a different hash each time. This is because it is a salted hash, with a random salt.
