WordPress does offer password protection but it really is not the 128-bit protection you need for high end content.

This simple feature is great for creating private content or membership based content.

Private Content

Let’s say that you have marketing PDF’s, training videos and special pricing that you only want your employees to see, its not for competitors or even your customers. Simply add all the media to a page that you like, then password protect the page. Then you can share the link and password with only specific employees that need to gain access to the content. This way you only need to update one place and you can change the password at any time.

Members Only Content

Another reason why to password protect your content is if your hosting paid content. There are many membership WordPress Plugins you could install. But you could make it really simple by having your visitors pay you directly and then you provide them with a password.
