+## Basic Authentication
+
+It's possible to add additional authentication annotations in the Ingress rule.
+The source of the authentication is a secret that contains usernames and passwords inside the key auth.
+To read about basic auth limitations see the [Kubernetes Ingress](/configuration/backends/kubernetes) configuration page.
+
+#### Creating the Secret
+
+A. Use `htpasswd` to create a file containing the username and the base64-encoded password:
+
+```shell
+htpasswd -c ./auth myusername
+```
+
+You will be prompted for a password which you will have to enter twice.
+`htpasswd` will create a file with the following:
+
+```shell
+cat auth
+```
+```
+myusername:$apr1$78Jyn/1K$ERHKVRPPlzAX8eBtLuvRZ0
+```
+
+B. Now use `kubectl` to create a secret in the monitoring namespace using the file created by `htpasswd`.
+
+```shell
+kubectl create secret generic mysecret --from-file auth --namespace=monitoring
+```
+
+!!! note
+    Secret must be in same namespace as the ingress rule.
+
+C. Create the ingress using the following annotations to specify basic auth and that the username and password is stored in `mysecret`.
+
+- `ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: "basic"`
+- `ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: "mysecret"`
+
+Following is a full ingress example based on Prometheus:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+ name: prometheus-dashboard
+ namespace: monitoring
+ annotations:
+   kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
+   ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: "basic"
+   ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: "mysecret"
+spec:
+ rules:
+ - host: dashboard.prometheus.example.com
+   http:
+     paths:
+     - backend:
+         serviceName: prometheus
+         servicePort: 9090
+```
+
+You can apply the example ingress as following:
+
+```shell
+kubectl create -f prometheus-ingress.yaml -n monitoring
+```
+
 ## Name based routing
 
 In this example we are going to setup websites for 3 of the United Kingdoms best loved cheeses, Cheddar, Stilton and Wensleydale.
