Username and password generator for .htpasswd files

/ Published in: PHP
Save to your folder(s)
Created by me as a quick and secure way of creating a username and password for basic authentication via a .htpasswd file on an Apache server.

A live demo is available at http://www.chrishair.co.uk/supgha/

Thanks.
