A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This could be an entire site or only one page that's in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you must input a username and also a password. If you enter the correct ones, you will be able to continue exploring the content without needing to do anything else. In case the login details are not correct, however, you'll see a note that you are not authorized to view the content. In case this feature is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is extremely useful if you want to restrict 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.
