Comment (by jdahir0789):

 Thank you, @audrasjb, for reopening the ticket. I’ve taken the time to
 test the proposed patch, and I’m providing more details below:


 == Steps to Reproduce:

 Create a password-protected post.
 Navigate to the post URL as a visitor.
 Enter an incorrect password in the password field and submit.


 == Observed Behavior:

 The page reloads without any feedback, as described in the ticket.


 == Tested Patch Results:

 After applying the patch, a helpful error message ("Incorrect password")
 is displayed when an incorrect password is entered, improving user
 experience and accessibility.


 Please let me know if further details or additional testing are needed.
