Amazon Cloudfront and .htaccess

I am testing Amazon Cloudfront in our development environment, which is protected by .htaccess / .htpasswd. Password protection on the dev server causes all cloudfront.net assets to be password protected as well. And the username and password combination doesn't work.

What I need to do is let the cloud host access the dev server by tearing some security holes in .htaccess.

I can get a list of IP addresses here , but since they can be changed, I was wondering if anyone knew of a better way.

Sorry, I cannot remove password protection.
