Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Website needs login.
I downloaded some PDFs manually from F12 and they are password protected, how to unlock or get the password ?
in this case try to fetch a list and then fetch your cookies from browser, and use curl and scripting to fetch stuff.
for cookies, you can try to open devtools, and then go to network tab, and there find the pdf file, and then right click, and you will find an option something in lines of 'copy as/for cURL', copy that, and paste somewhere. repeat exercise for some other file. this should give you some pattern as for how to make a query. it most likely just needs a bearerauth/token in header cookie, or something alike that.
