I'm basically creating something off of my main domain www.mywebsite.com/intranet.I've created .htpasswd protection for that intranet directory. I can't implement individual user passwords yet and I want to use .htpasswd as an interim solution.How secure is this method?What steps should I take to make this more secure?  What permissions for .htaccess and .htpasswd?
How secure is using .htpasswd to secure a directory?
htaccess;directory;htpasswd
