  I have seen similiar questions asked, but all the links in the answers didn’t lead to what I’m looking for. And YES I have tried search ;-)

  I don’t want to protect every single post or every page individually (I found out how that works) and I don’t want people to have to get a username to look at the blog (which is the only option I found in the privacy settings).

  I simply want the whole blog protected by one password. And I thought this was possible here…

  Thanks for help!

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

  You can look here but this is probably not what you want either: http://www.bestwpthemez.com/wordpress/how-to-password-protect-the-whole-wordpress-blog-119/

  thanks, but this is what I already found. I was hoping there is a better option without everyone having to get an account…?!

  Don’ know if WordPress.com lets you do this or not: user = password

  See if more than one person can use the same user / password

  And if WordPress.com checks the IP addresses to see if the same user is logging in from many different computers, some at the same time.

  I’m also curious about this. Did it work?
