A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are offered. This may be a whole site or only one page that is in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will have to input a username and a password. In case you enter the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything else. When the login credentials are not correct, however, you'll see a note that you are not authorized to look at the content. In case this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is very useful if you wish to restrict 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 is ready.
