I think I know what it happening. When you create a page and assign it to "Page for posts" in Settings->Reading, it is not considered a page anymore but an archive. That is why standard password protection doesn't work. You will need to build the latest posts page at your own, for example using a page template and/or pre_get_posts action.

You should try to fix it instead of asking how to password protect a page because that feature already exists in WP. Deactivate all plugins and switch to a default theme. Check if password protect works correctly and then activate the plugins one by one and switch to your theme; this way you can isolate the plugin/theme where the problem come from. | |
| Oct 19, 2015 at 9:14 | comment | added | malakhim | Sorry for the vagueness... I mean the page still shows all its contents without asking for a password. It's as if I had set "Public" on the admin panel for the page. | |
| Oct 19, 2015 at 9:11 | comment | added | cybmeta | What exactly do you mean with "setting "Visibility: Password protected" isn't doing anything"? It is a built-in feature in WordPress that works for everyone else. Can you explain in more detail? | |
