What is the "Meteor way" for password-protecting a staging version of a meteor app?

I am currently working on an app that I only want to make accessible to team members.

Normally, I would set up a simple .htaccess password protection and then send out the username and password. Not super secure and not a good solution for large teams, but great for quick and dirty protection from prying eyes.

However, as I understand it Meteor will basically ignore .htaccess. Is that correct?

What is “the meteor way” for quickly/easily password-protecting a staging version of your app?

Thanks for any tips and recommendations!

The Meteor way would be like the node way. Serve Meteor behind Nginx and password protect it in Nginx.
