Laravel why is htpasswd not working?

Question

htaccess

There is a site on Laravel, it is on the server.

My .htaccess file

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Thats protected Area!"
AuthUserFile /var/www/*serverdomen*/data/www/*serverdomen*/public/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

My .htpasswd file
test:$apr1$ZaeC6WdW$TuBye0r33J5/OWTyMDvYX/
Absolutely nothing happens. There are no errors, nothing. Just the site loads as usual and that's it.

You may not have an apache web server, and there is no one to simply process .htaccess, or .htaccess processing is not allowed in the apache config ( https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#al... )
