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
