A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are offered. This could be a whole Internet site or only a single page that is located in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up in which you must enter a username as well as a password. If you input the right ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without needing to do anything more. When the login details are not correct, however, you will see a message that you are not authorized to look at the content. If this option is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is incredibly practical if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
