It asks for usage because you are using it wrong.
If you specify -c option you are saying you are going to create a new
file.
But you must at the same time enter the first user it will contain
/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd -c passwdfile first-user
Then it will ask for the password.
After that, just enter the file and the user and a new user will be added
/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd passwdfile second-user

As the usage implies, you have to pass a username even when you're
creating a new file.
