where is it ?

@jayeye It really helps to include some details when opening an issue, however a quick grep finds:

./libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples/SimpleAuthentification/SimpleAuthentification.ino:bool is_authentified() {
./libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples/SimpleAuthentification/SimpleAuthentification.ino:  Serial.println("Enter is_authentified");
./libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples/SimpleAuthentification/SimpleAuthentification.ino://root page can be accessed only if authentification is ok
./libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples/SimpleAuthentification/SimpleAuthentification.ino:  if (!is_authentified()) {
./libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples/SimpleAuthentification/SimpleAuthentification.ino://no need authentification
./libraries/ESP8266WebServer/examples/SimpleAuthentification/SimpleAuthentification.ino:    server.send(200, "text/plain", "this works without need of authentification");

The name of the example, and its directory, and several uses in code should be fixed, as well as well as 'is_authentified' should be 'is_authenticated'. Surprised this wasn't noticed earlier.

The correct word is "authentication".
