Create or Add this to .htaccess 

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthUserFile /home/user/public_html/secretfolder/.htpasswd
<limit GET PUT POST>
         require valid-user
</limit>
then execute the htpasswd command; 
htpasswd -c /home/user/public_html/secretfolder/.htpasswd admin
That's it.. if you visit http://servername.com/~user/secretfolder/ -- it will prompt a username and password. So you have to enter admin as username and the password you entered. Enjoy~!
