Password protect site with htaccess

Create the Password File

  apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils
  htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd <username>

In vhost conf add:

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Content"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user

Example:

  <Directory /var/www/example>
          AllowOverride All
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AuthType Basic
          AuthName "Restricted Content"
          AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
          Require valid-user
  </Directory>
