I believe Apache has a number of ways to handle authentication. Beside the
..htaccess route, you can use an "AuthType" directive and choose from a number of
different options. The Apache site would probably cover that in better detail
than myself so I'll copy the link below...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html
Depending how many people you need to account for one method may be more
effective than the other.
