It asks for usage because you are using it wrong.

 

If you specify “-c” option you are saying you are going to create a new
file.

But you must at the same time enter the first user it will contain

 

/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd -c passwdfile first-user

 

Then it will ask for the password.

 

After that, just enter the file and the user and a new user will be added


/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd  passwdfile  second-user
