 I am not exactly sure if it is a real "bug", but I noticed this problem on
 one website where post passwords did not work. Even if password was right,
 post content was not revealed. I found that problem was in different
 siteurl and home options and cookies were set to non-www domain, while
 website was diplayed on www domain (not recognized).

 Example


 {{{
 siteurl: http://mydomain.com
 home: http://www.mydomain.com
 }}}


 I am not sure how this user achieved these settings, but maybe
 experimented with own directory installation and did not differ www and
 non-www version in the end. Nevermind, maybe WordPress should handle these
 problems for users and notice them (for example on Dashboard) or solve it
 automatically somehow?
