HTTP Authentication lets you make a site without letting anyone view it without valid credentials. This can protect the full site or only admin pages.

== Description ==
The HTTP Authentication plugin allows you to use existing means of authenticating people to WordPress. This includes Apache's basic HTTP authentication module, which most servers use.

This plugin works the same way web servers would handle password protection, but in this case, WordPress handles everything.

Ordered list:

1. **Password protect a website currently in development.**
2. **Secure all admin pages.**
3. **Deny access to unauthorized visitors.**

== Installation ==
1. Upload "http-authentication-by-kimofy.php" to the "/wp-content/plugins/" directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress.
3. Edit Plugin settings from the "HTTP Auth Settings" menu in your WordPress dashboard.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Does this work on multi-site installations of WordPress? =
Yes, this plugin is compatible with all WordPress installations above WordPress 3.5

= What happens if I forget my password? =
If you forget your password, I will not be able to help you recover it. Please choose your password carefully.

= How does this plugin work? =
This plugin uses the same method any web server's configuration file would use to protect a website. All passwords are encrypted on your web server.
