2. Add the following lines to the file
          AuthType Basic
          AuthName "By Invitation Only"
          AuthUserFile /Users/home/password_file   #(path to store your u/p)
          Require valid-user       
3. Run the command
          sudo htpasswd -c /Users/home/password_file amal  #(Generates a user - amal & crypted password) 
4. Restart Apache  if needed
