  I’m frustrated that the mobile app does not allow entering password and viewing password-protected posts. Will this feature be included in the app soon?

  Hi there,

  Are you using the Android or the iOS app? And do you mean reading password-protected posts in the Reader in the app? That’s not possible in the Reader on WordPress.com itself in a browser either – password-protected posts aren’t listed in the Reader at all, and can only be viewed in a browser directly on the site. I suspect this is due to the way this feature is designed to work in the WordPress software itself.

  While I’ll definitely forward this request to the app developers for you, I don’t know that such a change is even possible,
