Directory protection does not update .htaccess

Hi, When accessing the Directory Privacy option in cPanel, passwd is created but the .htaccess entry is not created, so when accessing the address the password is not required. root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco]# cd .htpasswds root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds]# ll total 12 drwxr-x--- 3 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Jul 25 16:47 ./ drwx--x--x 30 zabbixhgmxco zabbixhgmxco 4096 Oct 7 15:04 ../ drwxr-x--- 3 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Dec 3 13:03 public_html/ root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds]# cd public_html/ root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html]# ll total 12 drwxr-x--- 3 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Dec 3 13:03 ./ drwxr-x--- 3 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Jul 25 16:47 ../ drwxr-x--- 2 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Dec 3 13:21 TESTEHG/ root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html]# cd TESTEHG/ root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html/TESTEHG]# ll total 12 drwxr-x--- 2 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Dec 3 13:21 ./ drwxr-x--- 3 zabbixhgmxco nobody 4096 Dec 3 13:03 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 zabbixhgmxco zabbixhgmxco 93 Dec 3 13:21 passwd root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html/TESTEHG]# root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html/TESTEHG]# root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html/TESTEHG]# cat passwd testehg:$apr1$VoCDgz_y$eZkxNgwMT9FkPAjdQ3O1m/ testehg2:$apr1$rtSBCJuy$8GeSiYNLZnpoKjE6aKhNm1 root@vpstest [/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html/TESTEHG]#

If manually entered in .htaccess password is required when accessing address AuthType Basic AuthName "zabbixhgmxco" AuthUserFile "/home/zabbixhgmxco/.htpasswds/public_html/TESTEHG/passwd" require valid-user
This happens on two different servers: root@vpstest [~]# grep '' /etc/redhat-release /usr/local/cpanel/version /var/cpanel/envtype; uname -r /etc/redhat-release:CentOS release 6.10 (Final) /usr/local/cpanel/version:11.82.0.19 /var/cpanel/envtype:virtuozzo 2.6.32-042stab133.2 root@vpstest [~]#
