    Hello,
    as soon as I activate WP Security the does not work any more.

    Example:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Demo"
AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.at/httpdocs/wp-path/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</IfModule>

    What happens when you try adding your code inside the custom rules settings tab?

    I’ve already tried this too – with both options at the beginning or at the end.
    But it didn’t change anything, the PW protection is not working.

    Do you have another advice?

    If you have the 6G rules enabled, then maybe the line “Require all Granted” is causing that. Try a couple of tests by disabling 6G to see if your .htaccess password starts to work.

    Disabling 6G seems to work.
