A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are supplied. This may be an entire website or just a single page that is located within a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up where you have to enter a username and also a password. If you type the right ones, you can continue exploring the content without having to do anything else. In case the login details aren't accurate, however, you shall see information that you are not allowed to look at the content. When this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is incredibly handy if you'd like to limit 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's ready.
