# Password – continuous prompting

 * Hello. I am experimenting with the .htpasswd method of protecting my entire WP
   blog. The blog is located in a directory called “work”. I have the requisite .
   htaccess and .htpasswd files working.
 * When I go to domain.com/work, I am prompted for my username and password (good.)
   I can view the blog. Then, when I try to view a page within the blog, or a single
   post, I am prompted for the password yet again (bad.) This happens even if I 
   check “remember me” in the username window.
 * Is this something WP 2.0 specific? I successfully pass-protected a WP 1.5.2 blog
   using the same method, without any of these multiple password-prompting headaches.
 * Can someone please let me know what I’m doing wrong? Do I need to put my .ht_
   files in a different directory to prevent this?
 * One million thank-you’s in advance for any help!!!! 🙂

 * Could someone at least provide some feedback please – is this normal?

 * I’m still looking for some feedback on this issue. If someone could let me know
   whether this is even correct behavior or not, I would be very appreciative. Please
   🙂
