A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are offered. This may be a whole website or simply a single page that's in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up where you will need to input a username and also a password. If you type in the correct ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content without the need to do anything more. In case the login credentials are not correct, however, you'll see a message that you are not allowed to look at the content. In case this function is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly useful if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
