## Maelezo

The HTTP Authentication plugin allows you to use existing means of authenticating
people to WordPress. This includes Apache’s basic HTTP authentication module, which
most servers use.

This plugin works the same way web servers would handle password protection, but
in this case, WordPress handles everything.

Ordered list:

 1. **Password protect a website currently in development.**
 2. **Secure all admin pages.**
 3. **Deny access to unauthorized visitors.**
