=== SUMMARY ===
Sometimes you need a quick and straightforward way to “lock down” an entire site, making it inaccessible to the general public.

A common way to do this is using HTTP Basic Authentication. With HTTP auth in place, any visitors to your site will be presented with a simple browser popup asking for some login credentials.

In this video we learn how to set up HTTP Basic Auth on an Nginx web server.
