Answer 1

This workes perfect for me:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "myserver publicname"
AuthUserFile "/myserverpath/.htpasswds/public/passwd"
require ip 100.12.255.233
require valid-user

Note: Just placed 'require ip' with 'my example ip' before 'require valid-user' and it does the trick. I can log in from my ip without password requested, but if I access from other locations or my mobile devices I need the password.

To set 'Satisfy any' was NOT GOOD FOR ME (!), because it disabled other .htaccess settings in lower hierarchy of my app and made my site insecure.
