Mmmh, I'm not sure why, it looks right, but now I noticed, it doesn't
work. The output looks okay, if I change the password of one user
manually in the same htaccess (user:crytpass) it works again for that
user. Maybe something wrong gets parsed after the split part (which I
don't understand myself) into the password?

Help appreciated, please safe me from typing hundreds of users'
credentials! ;)

With best regards,

Erik
