For a long time now, I've had a couple of protected directories on my website. Lets call them /protected/ and /secret/.
Ever since I created them, accessing each of them was quite easy; I would go to their respective URLs, be prompted for a username and password, I'd enter the credentials, and viola, I'm in. About a month ago, after no particular server/configuration changes from me, accessing both directories has become a little bit 'harder', or simply more annoying. Regardless of what browser I use, what my cookies are doing, etc., I'm now always, 100% of the time, asked for the credentials as expected, but when I enter them, I'm told they're wrong. I enter them a second time, and then I'm let into the directories as desired. This happens each and every time. I have to enter credentials twice, like clock-work. It's no biggy, but annoying and slightly embarrassing when I send a client to one of them (which I do, often). Any thoughts? -------------------- |

Are u using htaccess to protect? Or something you have made yourself.

I don't know what method it employs, but it's a nice little button I click in Plesk. Using FTP to browser my directories, I don't see any particular .htaccess files (beyond the ones I manually inserted for other reasons).

I would suggest employing your own .htaccess and .htpasswd file then, if possible?

Have you tried talking to your hosting company? Maybe they can help you out with it, if it's their system that created the password system.
