A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are offered. This can be a whole website or only a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up in which you will have to enter a username and also a password. In case you enter the right ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything else. In case the login details are not right, however, you shall see a note that you are not authorized to look at the content. When this function is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is quite effective if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
