A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login details are provided. This could be a whole site or only a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will have to type in a username and a password. If you input the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without needing to do anything else. In case the login credentials aren't correct, however, you'll see information that you are not authorized to look at the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is quite handy if you wish to limit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
