Password protectin wordpress site

I would like to password protect my wordpress site, as it will be used as an intranet and we dont want people accessing it if they dont have the password. I’ve tried using the htaccess method but then whenever I need to upload anything in the admin I have to re-enter my credentials which is very annoying as we need to do alot of uploading. Is there any other alternative? Thanks
