danbo Linux Newbie Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Swansea (UK) Posts: 221	Using .htaccess and .htpasswd on website I am using these so i can password protect a directory of my website, but they make the directory (and password dialog) loads very slowly Is this meant to happen? How can i fix it? Is there a better way to have passwords without installing no insecure stuff or any extras?
