#16483: Visibility: password-protected exposes multiple pages
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  monkeyhouse   |      Owner:
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  General       |    Version:  3.0.4
 Severity:  minor         |   Keywords:
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 1. password protect a page ('protected') with a password
 2. password protect another page ('thistoo') with the SAME password
 3. visit 'protected' and enter the password. Page is visible
 4. visit 'thistoo'; expected: prompt for password. What happens: Page is
 visible

 Regardless of whether someone with a password has the right to try it in
 as many pages as they want (and would therefore successfully see the page
 if the passwords were the same), the user should still be prompted on a
 page-by-page basis. Global authentication to multiple pages is possible
 with user accounts and roles. It should not be possible with visibility:
 password-protected pages.
