# Password protected posts…

 * Is it possible to pass the password for a protected post in the URL?
 * I have a single post that I want to password protect but rather than telling 
   the people who need to access it what the password is and then getting them to
   login, I was wondering if it was possible to pass that password argument as part
   of the link?
 * Any ideas?
 * Cheers
