.htaccess for the "domain" on an apache server "normally" lives in the _vti_bin
with the corresponding .htpasswd file above the root in the .htpasswds folder.
When one is being used to password protect a folder / directory / subweb in
which case it will be in the protected folder, but the related .htpasswd file
will still be above the root.

If there is an .htaccess file in the root, every visitor will be prompted for a
password and user name.
