I have (hopefully) 2 answers:

1 - Cops version
You use the latest github-version of COPS. The only difference between the latest "release" version in a zip and this version are some (3) minor corrections and additions. So go with the latest version.

NB: You were lucky you used the instructions (best I've seen) for installing COPS that you did, otherwise you would have run into some errors.

2 - Authentication
To use basic authentication in apache with .htaccess you need to change a setting in the apache2.conf (or httpd.conf) file (not COPS).
Search for:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/http>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

and change None to All.

You can, for testing purposes only (!!!), put your .htpasswd file in the COPS directory and reference it with ./.htpasswd in .htaccess.
