A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the correct login details are provided. This may be an entire site or simply a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you must input a username as well as a password. In case you type in the correct ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything extra. When the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you shall see a message that you are not permitted to see the content. In case this function is activated, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The option is very handy if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you work on a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
