Re: htpasswd security

Jalal,
where is the program WebPassword available which you mentioned?
When googling it I only found a program with that name encrypting HTML pages
but not managing the .htppasswd file.
I am taking care for a website which reqires up to 350 different passwords
(and logins) for the protected folders.
A Windows based program would be very helpfull for this task.
TIA

Chris
