You may want to try adding the following to the top of your root .htaccess file:

(add less than here)IfModule mod_rewrite.c(add greater than here)

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(stats|failed_auth\.html).*$ [NC]

RewriteRule . - [L]

(add less than here)/IfModule(add greater than here)

However, it also made the entirety of localhost/ similarly password protected! I thought this might be remedied by putting an overriding .htaccess into /Applications/MAMP/htdocs which essentially said "Don't bother with passwords anymore", but haven't had any luck on that front. Any tips on how to secure the localhost/MAMP page without doing the same to the rest of localhost?
