password flatfile vs database
 

When is it time to change from the standard htaccess password flatfile to db? I mean how many set of logins can it handle?

How do you import the textfile into the db?

As soon as possible :thumbsup - a db solution is far more flexible and should be faster if all is configured correctly.

Note you probably can't get access to the plain-text passwords in the password file, so if you're importing from that you'll have to be sure that the hash function in your db solution is compatible with the hash you're currently using for your flatfile solution.

If that's the case, then importing is trivial - take a look at the password file and you'll the format is very straightforward, a simple script will put it into the db no problem.
