I checked the “complete site” radio button, but the auth only appeared on the wp-admin page. So the plugin is not working as advertised.

Generating .htaccess and .htpasswd by hand is pain. This little plugin does that
Admin UI is okay
It’s simple
Source code is GPL2 and is short enough, I reviewed it and found no tricky things
I’d better uninstall it when site goes live
