A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are offered. This can be an entire website or only one page which is located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to type a username as well as a password. In case you enter the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything extra. When the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see information that you are not permitted to view the content. In case this option is active, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is quite handy if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

As soon as you navigate to the Password Protection section, you'll have to choose one of the domains or subdomains that you have in the account and then decide whether the protection should be activated for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password that you want and you'll be ready. A tiny padlock icon within the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected.
