 > This functionality exists in a few places within the WordPress admin
 area. It should be possible to add it to the password protected post form
 too.

 I've been looking into a patch, and adding the markup to
 get_the_password_form() in wp-includes/post-template.php looks to be
 relatively straightforward. However, it doesn't seem right to load the
 same Javascript functionality as is loaded for the admin views, such as
 the bindToggleButton() function in wp-admin/js/user-profile.js, since this
 will be for a front end post view.

 For something like this, does it make sense to create a new script file in
 wp-includes/js/ ?
