A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are offered. This may be an entire website or just one page that's in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to input a username and a password. In case you enter the appropriate ones, you can continue exploring the content without needing to do anything more. If the login credentials aren't right, however, you shall see a note that you aren't authorized to look at the content. When this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is extremely handy if you need to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
