  1. Try this. (This is from Digital Ocean site) Link here

    Removing the Additional Apache Password Prompt for Admin Areas
    Often, after you have completed the installation steps, you’ll want to remove the Apache-level password prompt that greets you each time you try to log into the administrative portion of the site. While it can be an additional layer of security, many users feel comfortable relying on WordPress’s own authentication mechanisms.

    Note: You should not remove this authentication until after you have completed the initial installation. Otherwise, anyone connecting to your domain name or IP address can configure WordPress or access the administration files to change your settings.

    To remove the additional password prompt, you’ll need to log into your VPS instance through SSH as we demonstrated above. Once logged in, you need to update the main Apache configuration file. Open it as root with your text editor:

    nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

    Inside, you need to find the section that deals with the “/wp-admin/” section. It should look like this:

    <DirectoryMatch ^.*/wp-admin/>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Please login to your droplet via SSH for login details."
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>

    This entire section can be commented out by placing the “#” character before each line, like this:

    #<DirectoryMatch ^.*/wp-admin/>
#    AuthType Basic
#    AuthName "Please login to your droplet via SSH for login details."
#    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
#    Require valid-user
#</DirectoryMatch>

    Once this is complete, you can restart Apache for your new changes to take affect.

    service apache2 restart

    This should remove the additional password prompt from the administrative areas, which is usually okay since WordPress itself can handle authentication.
