Yes. Password protection is a simple way to restrict access to a specific folder on your website.
This is especially useful when the directory contains:
- private documents
- staging content
- internal tools
- client-only material
Depending on your hosting environment, you can usually do this from the control panel or with server-level configuration such as \.htaccess\ and password files.
If you are not sure which method is available on your hosting account, the safest approach is to check the control panel first because it usually creates the required configuration automatically.
