How to Create a Login Web Page (13 Steps)

Navigate with your web browser to your web hosting account and log in to access your control panel. The example shown here is the cPanel X web site management tool.
Click the icon for 'Password Protect Directories.'
Locate the folder (directory) you want to password protect. Click on a 'folder ICON ' to go into that folder, click on folder 'NAME' to select it as the one to protect.
Click the 'check box' at the top to turn protection on, then enter a username and password on the set password screen, and click add/modify authorized user. You can also use this screen to change the password of an existing user or delete a user. Existing users are listed in the order they were added. The list is not alphabetical.
Exit your web host account and navigate to a web page in the directory with the password protection. A login box will prompt you for a username and password.
Enter the appropriate username and password combination, then click 'OK.' If the login is correct you will have access to the page. If the login is wrong, you will receive an Authorization Required error page.
