A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login credentials are provided. This could be a whole website or simply one page which is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up where you will need to input a username and also a password. If you type in the right ones, you will be able to continue exploring the content without needing to do anything additional. When the login details are not correct, however, you'll see a message that you aren't authorized to look at 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 option is quite practical if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
