Feature Request : enable Use of .htpasswd

which would block the access to the login page already on the server side:

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

<Files wp-login.php>
AuthName "WordPress Admin"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /www/path/to/wordpress/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</Files>

“.htpasswd” can be generated either in the backend of the hoster or online with the Htpasswd Generator.
