It will reveal the Visibility options. You can make your page or post Public (with the option of making it "Sticky"), password protected or private.

We of course what to choose the password protected option. When you click on that radio button a text field will appear. This is where you type in the password for the page or post.

Once you have entered the password click on OK and then click on Update.

Now when you visit the page you will see the text "Protected:" before the title of the page and a password field where the post content should be.

Enter the password you created to reveal the content on the password protected page WordPress.

You can set a unique password for all the pages you want to protect or you can set them all to the same password, it's up to you.
