strange behavior with htpasswd

[samoht]

Hello all,

 

I added this code to my .htaccess file which is in the root directory for my site:

AuthUserFile /var/www/dev.timothysykes.com/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Tim's protected files"
AuthType Basic


<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

 

And I created an .htpasswd file using the command line and put 3 users into it.

 

The problem is that when I go to the site (dev.timothysykes.com)

I first get a popup that says dev.timothysykes.com asks for the username and password

After I enter that I get another popup window that says 69.174.245.118 asks for username password. and that same window keeps poping up (about 5 times).

 

Any idea what I may have done wrong / how to fix it so just one popup shows up??

 

Thanks,
