Don't use <Limit>, you're opening access for every other method.
AuthUserFile /usr/www/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
Your use of <Limit> probably comes from reading the example in the Apache
documentation, which has the fundamental flaw of showing an unusual use of
require, instead of the one that should be used in almost every
situation:(
