 > A long while ago, we handled post passwords through a separate file, but
 there was little need to do so.

 > Hypothetically you could change this, but it'd be kind of a pain. You'd
 have to filter the form action URL used in get_the_password_form() and
 then handle the code in the 'postpass' branch by yourself. That's not
 ideal. A simpler option is to not lock down wp-login.php when the URL is
 action=postpass.
