There are a number of online tools for creating the proper htaccess and 
htpasswd files for basic auth.  Here's a couple (forget which one I used 
last time I needed it, both have 'visited' links in my browser):

http://www.wmtips.com/tools/htpasswd-generator/

http://www.htaccesstools.com/htaccess-authentication/

They should be secure enough since they don't really know what site you're 
going to use them on, but apply whatever paranoia you're comfortable with 
to using such tools.
