Free Password Protection Scripts and User Authentication Scripts
The free password protection scripts and user authentication scripts on this page allow you to password protect the web pages on your website. Some of the scripts allow you to create and manage groups of users, rather than simply password protect a page. The scripts may be useful if you want to create a members-only or subscription-based section of your website, although if that is your intention, you should make sure that any script you use has sufficient security to actually protect your site. (Some of the scripts have fairly easy-to-break protection, and may only be useful for protection against casual snoopers.)
An alternative way to using a password protection script is to do it yourself on your website, using the method described in my article on How to Password Protect a Folder on Your Website.
Again, since neither the scripts listed nor the .htaccess/htpasswd method described in my article use encryption for securing your password, you should not use them for serious password protection of sensitive data on your website.

Free Password Protection and User Authentication Scripts
- Hacker Hunter - Authentication and User Management System
This password-protection script includes several security measures, including a stolen password mechanism to automatically deal with a password that is used by several people simultaneously (it resets the password and sends the new one to the email address on record), brute force protection for login and register pages, IP and session tracing, etc. It supports lost password recovery, user groups, IP banning, the ability to deny access from open relay proxies, etc. It includes an administrator panel where you can manually view, search, change, add, import and export users, manage registration PINs, view used PINs and remote call logs, backup and restore the database. The PHP script uses a MySQL database and requires that your site be running an Apache web server.
- Max's Site Protector
This script allows you to protect individual web pages by requiring the visitor/user to enter a valid password before they can view the page. You only need to add one line to all the pages you want protected. Once logged in, the user will be able to access all password-protected pages.
- Micro Protector
If you want to protect your web pages with a password, simply add 1 line to your pages, and your users or visitors will be required to enter a password before they can read or access the page.
- Deadlock PHP/MySQL User Management System
This PHP script requires you to have a MySQL database as well as a website that runs on an Apache server. It uses the same technique described in my article on how to protect directories and web pages using .htaccess and htpasswd (although I'm not sure why it would need a MySQL database for that).
- D9 Authentication System
This script uses PHP and MySQL to maintain a user authentication system for your website. It supports user accounts, user groups, bans, and provides statistics. New users can register using the form on your site. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
- Admin-Login-Only
This free PHP script is designed to protect your sensitive web pages. It uses PHP session ids to accomplish the task. Once your users have successfully logged in with a username and password, you can surf the protected and open pages freely without having to log in again.
- Free PHP Login Script
This is a simple "quick and dirty" PHP login script for a web page. Your user will be prompted for a password and allowed to view the page only if the password is correct. It supports only one password and hence does not have support for multiple users with different passwords.
- p_protect PHP Protection Script
This script allows you to protect any web page you wish by adding a simple line into your web page.
