A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the correct login credentials are offered. This can be an entire website or simply a single page that is located within a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up in which you must enter a username and also a password. In case you enter the right ones, you can continue browsing the content without the need to do anything additional. When the login details aren't right, however, you'll see a message that you are not authorized to see the content. In case this feature is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is quite practical if you need 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.

Once you navigate to the Password Protection section, you'll need to select one of the domains or subdomains that you have inside the account and then choose if the protection should be turned on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password you want and you shall be set. A small padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the very same way you shall be able to include many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
