Re: Password-protected pages do not work
It’s well known that txp:password doesn’t work ( doesn’t work as you would expect) you should try ign_password it works wonders!

Re: Password-protected pages do not work
Thank you for your answer. I’ll give it a try.
I read on several ather threads that the problem comes from http-auth configuration. Some recommend adding “AddType application/x-httpd-php .php” on the .htaccess file : it didn’t work for me…

No, actually the thing is that it doesn’t work on all servers, because it depends on how PHP is configured/installed/running, because HTTP-Auth is used. If the necessary HTTP-Headers are never passed to PHP, it’s not possible for Textpattern to do anything about it.
The plugin solves this by offering you password-protection with using something other than HTTP-Auth. At some point in the future Textattern wil probabl improve in this area, though it would need more than only changing Authentication method for it to become truly useful (also 4.0.x is intended to be stable – so we try to avoid adding new code where possible).
