By default, when you call protect with no arguments it will protect your entire site. If you want to protect certain routes do as follows:-

var basicAuth = new HttpBasicAuth("guest", "password");
basicAuth.protect(['/secretstuff', '/homemovies']);

or you can do this:-

var basicAuth = new HttpBasicAuth("guest", "password");
basicAuth.protect(['/homemovies']);
basicAuth.protect(['/secretstuff']);

or this to use different passwords:-

var basicAuthMovies = new HttpBasicAuth("movies", "password");
basicAuthMovies(['/homemovies']);

var basicAuthStuff = new HttpBasicAuth("stuff", "password");
basicAuthStuff.protect(['/secretstuff']);

Other Stuff

Realms

var basicAuth = new HttpBasicAuth("guest", "password", "My Realm");
basicAuth.protect();
