Password protection using the members database

[Saberhagen]

Hello,

i'm searching for a way to protect a website with a password (like with a .htaccess file). But i need to use the vb member database.

Is there any way to create a .htaccess file with the passwords from the database? I don't think so because the encryption is different?

Thank you

What do you need to protect? Entry to a PHP file? If so - you could send headers to request user/password combo, then check it when the response comes.

What use is adding an extra login if the user/password is the same? This would not increase security but it will annoy your users.
