A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This could be a whole site or simply one page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you must type a username and also a password. In case you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content without the need to do anything more. In case the login credentials aren't correct, however, you will see a note that you aren't allowed to view the content. If this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is quite effective if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
