How do I add multiple users and login credentials such that multiple users can access a directory with their specific credentials? Let's say I want them all to be able to access the directory /about/team/

.htaccess:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please enter the username and password"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /path/.htpasswd1
Require user user1

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please enter the username and password"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /path/.htpasswd2
Require user user2

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please enter the username and password"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /path/.htpasswd3
Require user user3

.htpasswd

user1: 123%%^sample-passwordHJGH&^
user2: 456%%^sample-passwordHJGH&^
user3: 789%%^sample-passwordHJGH&^

Thanks

Specify a single auth block and use Require valid-user instead. For example:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please enter the username and password"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /absolute/file-path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

Note that the file-path for AuthUserFile is an absolute filesystem-path.
