I am following this tutorial setting up phpMyAdmin:

I edit the .htaccess file at /usr/share/phpmyadmin/.htaccess

But I need to point it to a .htpasswd file of my choice.

Can I put it in /usr/share/phpmyadmin so it's next to .htaccess? Or can I put it in /var/www ?

It is NOT a good idea to place your .htpasswd file in /var/www.

You can place the .htpasswd pretty much anywhere other than your web folder. I would place it in /etc/phpmyadmin.
