node-basic-auth

Express now has a builtin BasicAuth middleware. See http://expressjs.com/api.html#middleware

I needed just very basic auth for NodeJS and I couldn't find a module that worked.

To install:

``
npm install basic-auth-old
`

`javascript
var auth = require('basic-auth')({
name: 'Auth Box Name',
accounts: [
'username:password',
'user2:pass2'
]
})
``

This is by no means a secure system. This is good if you have a page that just needs to prevent some unauthorized access (such as an intranet).
