    Redirect /wp-admin http://yourdomain.com

    (this will work, but then you can't use the admin section...)


    EDIT: Did not understand your question.

    For password protecting certain directories with an .htaccess directive, look here: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/

  • I would not mess with the .htaccess file. I have seen so many things go wrong. IF you are concerned about security install the login lock down plug in. This plugin stops people from consistently trying to log into your site. There might also be a plugin that will allow you to state your unique IP address

    May I ask what the point is to have it doubled password protected? Once via WP-login and once via htaccess? Why?
