A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This could be a whole website or only one page that is located in a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up in which you will have to type in a username and also a password. In case you input the right ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything more. When the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you'll see a note that you are not allowed to see the content. When this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is extremely practical if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
