Simple password protection Q-I'm a beginner!

Hi, this is a really simple question, but once i've used http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml this tutorial for password protection, do i need to use another set of cgi coding to create a login and register page or do i use .htaccess or .htpasswd - I've tried every other password protection script and none are very foolproof, ao i thought i'd use this, but i'm just a bit confused :o thanks

The way authentication works with .htaccess and .htpasswd files is that you place them in the directory you want to be protected, and then if anyone tries to access anything within that directory a little box pops up and they are required to enter a username and password before proceeding - like this (http://www.mouldygoat.34sp.com/private).

I.e. once the authentication files are in place you don't have to worry about anything else.
