  How do I change my blog from being private ( by invitation only) to being public yet password protected?

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

  Hi there,

  I’m afraid public blogs aren’t password protected. More info on this page –
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  And a quote from that page –

  Privacy Options

  Public. This is the setting used by most sites. It allows everyone to read your site and enables your site to be included in search engine results and other content sites.
  Hidden. If you want all human visitors to be able to read your blog, but want to block web crawlers for search engines, this is the setting for you. (Please note, however, that not all search engines respect this setting.)
  Private. Select this option to make your site private. If you want specific people to be able to view it (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them), you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

  I hope this answers your question :)
