Password protection is the best technique to reduce the accessibility to a specialized element of your website that you don’t wish to be seen to every one. For example, this could be a safe members’ area or an area with copyrighted data that you like only selected individuals to access.

From your File Manager it is easy to password–protect your web site or perhaps a specified directory inside with merely a click of the mouse. Just right–click a folder, select Password Protection and fill in the login name and security password. It is not necessary to take care of .htaccess files or to create any extra configurations.
