Re you using .htaccess or another solution for protecting your directory(ies)?

I used the "web protect" function from cpanel. I see an .htaccess file. I just started out, is there a better way?
Thanks

The web protect/.htaccess feature is quite secure.

However, once a browser authenticates, that browser can visit any number of sites and return to the authenticated site without having to re-authenticate, so long as it has not been closed.

So, a logout would require closing the browser.

A snippet of javascript like the following could work for most visitors.

<form>
<input type=button onClick='window.opener=self;window.close()' value='Logout'>
</form>
