A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This can be an entire website or only one page which is in a subfolder. If you try to open this kind of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to type a username and a password. If you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content without having to do anything additional. When the login details are not right, however, you shall see information that you aren't allowed to view the content. When this option is active, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is incredibly effective if you want to restrict 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.
