+# HTTP Basic Auth
+The app is protected with simple http basic auth, so it's recommended to use it just over TLS (HTTPS). Let's Encrypt is your friend. ;)
+
+## Setup
+If you use linux you can simply use `htpasswd` comming with `apache2-utils` (on Debian/Ubuntu)
+
+On Debian/Ubuntu do:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get -y install apache2-utils
+```
+
+## Add User
+The following command creates a new `htpasswd` file in the current folder with the user `peter`. After creating a new file copy it into the `lib` dir of the app or append the content of the new file to the existing one.
+```bash
+htpasswd -c ./htpasswd peter
+cp ./htpasswd node-file-manager/lib
+```
