I wouldn't say .htaccess and .htpasswd files are pointless. They might not be applicable to your situation, fine, but they're not totally useless. And .htaccess/passwd files do provide directory-level security -- the directory they're in, plus any subdirectories if need be.
But there are a million solutions to your problem. .htaccess was just one of them. It would also have been possible to forget about individual .htaccess files and just define everything in access.conf. Anyways, just glad you found a solution.
