There are several problems regarding the solution by using a .htaccess. It will fail at least in the following cases:

• Call the page with the alternative url index.php?id=<pageid>
• If an editor changes the page title, the URL will change as well and you loose the protection.

Using felogin is really simple as it is a core extension and you don't need any registration. Further advantages are:

• It is secure. Passwords are transferred using RSA protection if you don't yet use https
• You can add a login box on the same page and hide it if someobody logs in
• Any editor can create users and change passwords
