Allow password protection of individual files
Open Discussion
Currently the htaccess password protection feature in cPanel only allows to password protect folders.
There are cases, like protecting wp-login.php or other files where it would be nice for beginner users to be able to protect individual files instead of only allowing to protect entire folders.
I like this idea 
cPanel, WebHost Manager and WHM are registered trademarks of cPanel, L.L.C. for providing its computer software that facilitates the management and configuration of Internet web servers.
This would be an excellent feature. I like to write about and offer assistance to those needing .htaccess This particular code is one that a person has to physically add into any htaccess. But they also need access to htpwd. It is a challenge for someone to write this out and execute it successfully. Yes, after testing most people will easily fix any issue.
And as Monarbase suggested the WP-Login\.php file is one that can be protected individually. Think of how many people using your panel, cPanel, would benifit from this.
Thanks cPanel for all,
