  I have a client who wants to post pages to his WordPress website that are password protected. I see how to accomplish this, but want to know how secure the results will be. Will the pages be invisible to search engines, etc?

  When posts or pages are password protected, the password needs to be entered in order to view the content. This content will not be visible to search engines. The content will be as secure as you make the password.
