  Is there a way to password protect my page, so that anyone can search for it, but only those with the password can actually enter the site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  When you say “page” I think you mean blog or website. The answer is no. You cannot password protect a whole sites. You can password protect pages and posts on it only.

  See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
  To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
