If you're interested in getting password protection plugin for MT, Byrne Reese has started a Fundable page to collect contributions. Please take a look at here:

from the page:
For too long the Movable Type platform has been without a reliable and well supported solution for password protected content for the web sites it publishes. But "privacy" is not always as simple as password protecting content. Privacy actually means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Thought this campaign I endeavor to collect enough money to fund the development of a "privacy" plugin for Movable Type that will address the vast majority of the MT community's needs regarding privacy. Preliminary features will include:
- Password protect entries and pages
- Require registration to view content labeled "protected"
- Allow only your friends to view certain content
- Allow only members of a certain group, or people with a certain role to view content
Contributions to raise funds to make this plugin a reality depend on you!

Thanks for posting this, kimonostereo. Password protection is an often requested feature in websites. I'll be glad to contribute.
It would be nice to see some information on how he plans to implement this.

Found this post and thought we were on to something but the Fundable project failed - didn't hit the target before the deadline, all bets off.
Another vote/request for password-protected content...
