A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login credentials are supplied. This may be an entire Internet site or just one page that's in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up in which you will need to input a username as well as a password. In case you type the right ones, you can continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything extra. When the login details aren't right, however, you'll see a message that you are not authorized to see the content. In case this feature is active, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is extremely practical if you want to limit 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.
