+### HTTP basic authentication
+
+Anubis' metrics server also supports setting HTTP basic auth as a lightweight protection against unauthorized users viewing metrics data. As the basic auth credentials are hardcoded in the configuration file, administrators SHOULD use randomly generated credentials, such as type-4 UUIDs or other high entropy strings. These credentials MUST NOT be sensitive or used to protect other high value systems.
+
+Configure it with the `basicAuth` block under `metrics`:
+
+```yaml
+metrics:
+  bind: ":9090"
+  network: "tcp"
+
+  basicAuth:
+    username: azurediamond
+    password: hunter2
+```
