Originally created by @Catta1997 on GitHub (Mar 24, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1576

Is possible to put an authentication to access to the config portal? I do not want that anyone can configure my ESP but at the same time I want the portal.

Or do not have portal on localIP, I mean:

ESP create own AP (ESP-WiFi with password) if my esp is connected to my home wifi I can access to portal also on localIP, how can I have portal only if I connect to the AP and not on localIP?

Dear @Catta1997 you need to enable authenticate in your firmware.
Authenticate is present in WiFiManager.

// bool authenticate(const char * username, const char * password);
// bool authenticateDigest(const String& username, const String& H1);
// void requestAuthentication(HTTPAuthMethod mode = BASIC_AUTH, const char* realm = NULL, const String& authFailMsg = String("") );

default is admin, 12345

Yeah I left that in to test, I think it does not work with captive portals hence why it is not enabled.
It might be better to add plain http auth form
