A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This can be a whole site or only a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this kind of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to input a username and a password. If you type in the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content without needing to do anything else. If the login credentials are not correct, however, you shall see a note that you are not allowed to view the content. When this function is activated, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is very handy if you wish to limit the access to some content or if you work on an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
