Another solution is using the htgroup file. This makes for a more complex registration program as well but you basically have one htpasswd file for everything. Then you have a htgroup file that defines which users are in which user groups ("groupname1: user1 user2 user3 ..."). Finally, in your htaccess files, instead of specifying "require valid-user" you'd use "require group groupname1 [groupname2]*" (where groupname2, and more, are optional).

This is a sorthand usage of "require user1 user2 user2 ..." and can be quite powerful for defining access to different parts of the document tree.
