- Htpasswd Generator is a program that will help you to manage the main authentication files for Apache web server -.htpasswd,.htgroup and.htaccess. This program is a convenient shell with a graphical interface for managing users, user groups and their passwords (with SSH and FTP support).
- You can't decrypt a hashed password, that would ruin the point of hashing. Hashing works in basic terms, that you take a random string and mix that up (using a certain algorithm) with the password so that it becomes totally unreadable. Then you store this password + hash in a database. Then how do you know what the correct password is?
- The maxium length with the default encryption algorithm is 8,so if you use a longer password it will be trimmed without notice,if you want to use a longer password you can use the htpasswd tool with the -s switch.
Hashing algorithms
$ htpasswd -b htpasswd password Creating an HTPasswd file using Windows To use the HTPasswd identity provider, you must generate a flat file that contains the user names and passwords for your cluster by using htpasswd.

How To Decrypt Htpasswd Password Online
- bcrypt $2y$ or $2a$ prefix
- This algorithm is currently considered to be very secure. Bcrypt hashes are very slow to compute (which is one one the reasons why they are secure). The cost parameter sets the computing time used (higher is more secure but slower, default: 5, valid: 4 to 31).
Warning : think carefully before you try values above 10, this thing is really slow. You could freeze your computer.
Compatibility : Apache since version 2.4 (needs apr-util 1.5+) - md5 (APR) $apr1$ prefix
- Apache-specific algorithm using an iterated (1,000 times) MD5 digest of various combinations of a random salt and the password. This is the default (since Apache version 2.2.18).
Compatibility : all Apache versions, Nginx 1.0.3+. - crypt(), also known as crypt(3) no prefix
- It used to be the default algorithm until Apache version 2.2.17. It limits the password length to 8 characters. Considered insecure.
Compatibility : all Apache and Nginx versions, Unix only. Plain ASCII characters only. - salted sha-1 {SSHA} prefix
- Considered insecure. The use of salt makes it more time-consuming to crack a list of passwords. However, it does not make dictionary attacks harder when cracking a single password.
Compatibility : Nginx 1.0.3+ only. - sha-1 {SHA} prefix
- Facilitates migration from/to Netscape servers using the LDAP Directory Interchange Format (ldif). This algorithm is insecure by today's standards.
Compatibility : all Apache versions, Nginx 1.3.13+. - Plaintext (no hashing) no prefix for Apache, {PLAIN} for Nginx
- Use plaintext passwords. Insecure.
Compatibility : all Windows and Netware Apache versions, Nginx 1.0.3+.
