 Replying to [comment:2 vccwebadmin]:
 > Well, I discovered it will prompt for a password as long as I use a
 different device.  Apparently, it is remembering my IP (a guess on my
 part) and not requiring the password if I ever logged in earlier from the
 same device.  Perhaps this is intended, but I was expecting the password
 prompt.  Sorry for a false alarm, if that behavior matches your
 expectations.

 This is intended.
 The post password is stored in a per-browser cookie, and won't prompt you
 for it until it expires.
 If you use the same password on multiple posts, it won't prompt you on
 those posts either.
