.htaccess set up issue

I have a folder in my htdocs folder ChemLabDB and inside the directory I have my HTML files that the user can browser from their browsers. When the user put the path to the directory, the browser displays all the files. I put the .htaccess and .htpasswd file in the directory. Now everytime I visit the website, I get a enter password prompt.

My Directory: enter image description here

My .htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Not Available to Users"
AuthUserfile "../htdocs/ChemLabDB/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user

What do I modify so the user can browse without having to enter authentication credentials. The only time a user is REQUIRED (for security) to enter is when they try to browse the directory?

You don't need to take refuge of Basic Authentication. Just put this line in your root .htaccess file:

Options -Indexes

And don't forget to comment out Basic Authentication code.
