Placing files on the server

Open the file .htpasswd, which is located in the UTILS folder.

Change this data: mylogin:{SHA}FefTYcOFuPWJjBNBYPtX9D8vKOA= to yours that was generated.

Upload this file .htpasswd to your server to the public_html directory.

Open the .htaccess file, which is located in the root directory of your server.

Change this code:

<Files demoadmin.php>
AuthType Basic 
AuthName "Protected area, need authorization"
AuthUserFile /home/s/mylogin/mygomain.com/.htpasswd
require valid-user 
</Files>

<Files demoadmin.php> - replace demoadmin.php with your unique admin file name.

AuthUserFile /home/s/mylogin/mygomain.com/.htpasswd - replace /home/s/mylogin/mygomain.com with your home directory. You can see your home directory on the main admin panel: Server

As a result, when you log into the admin area, you will see the following window where you will need to enter the username and password you specified:

IMPORTANT! If you change the name of the admin file, do not forget to change it in .htaccess
