2. Many hosts offer cPanel, which includes a File Manager. You can open the file from there. You may need to check that it’s showing hidden file types.

   The plugin is simple, you just choose a username and password and you are done. It writes the .htaccess file, without messing it up. It also encrypts your password and creates the .htpasswd file, as well as setting the correct security-enhanced file permissions on both.
