A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This can be a whole website or simply one page which is located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up in which you have to type in a username and a password. In case you enter the right ones, you can continue browsing the content without having to do anything else. In case the login details aren't accurate, however, you will see information that you are not authorized to view the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is extremely effective if you want to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
