A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login details are provided. This could be an entire site or only one page which is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will have to type in a username as well as a password. If you type the right ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without having to do anything extra. If the login details aren't accurate, however, you'll see information that you aren't permitted to see the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is very useful if you'd like to prohibit 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 is ready.
