AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
.htaccess Site Access Control is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Security category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How .htaccess Site Access Control works
Show full descriptionShow less
Using the password protection will give you extra security layer of protection from brute force hacking attacks. Additionally, it’s also an easy way to password protect your entire site, without needing to create separate WordPress users for each visitor.
When you enable the password protection, the user won’t be able to see anything – not even see the protected page – until he/she inserts the username/password. You can password protect the whole website, including the administrator pages; you can password protect the administrator pages; or you can password protect the WordPress login page.
Free plugin options include:
Enabling/disabling the password protection to wp-login.php, WordPress admin pages. Note that you’ll be asked to re-type the .htaccess username/password you created before enabling any of the settings – to ensure that you wouldn’t enable the password protection without even knowing the password yourself!
Modifying the existing users: you can change any .htaccess user’s password and remove the users.
Adding one .htaccess user.
Premium plugin options:
Create/modify an unlimited number of .htaccess users;
Protect your whole site, making it accessible to only those who have the .htaccess user.
