    I use this feature(Password protect directories) in cpanel to protect my website. But whenever i visit my website, it asks me to input username/password twice even i tick "remember password". Is is right?wrong? Many thanks in advance.

    I went to "Password protect directories" in cpanel and set the password to protect mydomain.com/oscommerce. It just protects mydomain.com/oscommerce not the whole website mydomain.com.

    2. Now i want to find a way to protect mydomain.com.

    It would list folders like:

    / (Current Folder)
    _private
    _vti_bin
    _vti_cnf
    _vti_log
    _vti_pvt
    _vti_txt
    cgi-bin
    images

    Click / and protect.
