You can use this instead:

// Check Username and password correct or ask for them
if(($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == "myusername") AND
($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] == "mypassword"))
{
include "bootstrap.php";

$app = new \Espo\Core\Application();
if (!$app->isInstalled()) {
header("Location: install/");
exit;
}
if (!empty($_GET['entryPoint'])) {
$app->runEntryPoint($_GET['entryPoint']);
exit;
}

$app->runClient();
}
else
{
// Ask for username and password
header("WWW-Authenticate: " ."Basic realm="Espo Protected Area"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");

// Show failure text after several failed attempts
echo "This area is protected by a valid username and password";
}
?>


you can substitute "myusername" "mypassword" with variables called from a require include page sitting below your webroot similar to .htpasswd.
