### Authentication
Depending on whether the server is configured to support [access control](../config.md#access-control), some topics
may be read/write protected so that only users with the correct credentials can subscribe or publish to them.
To publish/subscribe to protected topics, you can use [Basic Auth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication)
with a valid username/password. For your self-hosted server, **be sure to use HTTPS to avoid eavesdropping** and exposing
your password.
You can either add your username and password to the configuration file:
=== "~/.config/ntfy/client.yml"
```yaml
- topic: secret
command: 'notify-send "$m"'
user: phill
password: mypass
```
Or with the `ntfy subscibe` command:
```
ntfy subscribe \
-u phil:mypass \
ntfy.example.com/mysecrets
```
