Comment:

 I've seen some reports regarding issues with post passwords, but none like
 this. It seems this is a very specific case that is happening to your
 particular installation,  probably because of some plugin conflicting or
 even a theme

 Ideally, we need a clear step-by-step method to reproduce this
 consistently and ideally, in a brand new clean WordPress installation,
 like the one you can find in the [https://wordpress.org/playground/
 WordPress Playground]. Without this, trying to spot the trouble you have
 been experiencing, is like spotting a needle in a haystack.

 I'm going to close this as `worksforme` because I've been using the
 `post_password` intensively (and also I've been testing it through several
 posts), without an incident.

 But if you happen to find the step-by-step and you can reproduce it in the
 clean environment like I have commented, don't hesitate to write back, we
 will reopen, and I will be personally testing and trying to help solve
 this.
