A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are supplied. This can be a whole website or just a single page which is located in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to type in a username and a password. In case you enter the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without having to do anything extra. In case the login credentials are not right, however, you will see a message that you aren't permitted to look at the content. When this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is quite practical if you'd like to limit 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's ready.
