Topic: htpasswd file question

[mrdj1024]

hi!
im using the latest wampserver and apache on windows
i have alot of unused apache modules disabled(for speed and security)
i dont know which module(s) i need to enable for a password prompt on a directory.
on my website i have a staff directory and i want only that directory to be password protected,how would i do that on windows?
i read where only plain unencrypted passwords work on windows for the files but im not sure
can someone please help me?
all i want is a simple dialog box that prompts for a user and password,thats it.
my website is already served over https so i should be ok right?

ignore the php and apache versions(i manually update the files)
i am using everything at the latest versions

mod_auth_basic or mod_auth_digest depending on what you like to use.

mod_authz_user
mod_authn_core
mod_authn_file

See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authn_file.html for details.
