.htpasswd_generated has no passwords in it

Running on WP Version 5.0.3. When I register a new user, I see the “.htpasswd_generated” is generated (touched) under “…/wp-content/plugins/wp-htpasswd-generator/” directory. My .htaccess also points correctly to this file. However after user registration no user/password gets stored in the file (I registered several new users). It has zero size length. I see this plugin is not touched for years maybe there is compatibility issue. I am not a php developer but I hope it can be an easy fix. I couldn’t find an alternative plugin.

I think this is very useful plugin especially if you want to have alternative protection for some sub dirs without relying on WP authentication. For example I am planning to create photo album pages (Static) without using WP to decrease the script runtime on the server. So htpasswd will provide a copy of WP logins.
