 **Description of the Problem:**
 Currently, get_the_password_form() hardcodes the redirect_to hidden input
 value directly to get_permalink( $post->ID ). While there is a filter for
 the entire form HTML (the_password_form), changing only the redirect URL
 requires brittle string manipulation (like str_replace or regex) on the
 rendered HTML block.

 **Use Case:**
 When building custom features like "Public Preview Links" for draft or
 unpublished posts, or when working with custom routing/headless setups,
 the standard permalink is often not the correct URL to redirect the user
 back to after a successful password entry.

 **Proposed Solution:**
 Introduce a dedicated filter (e.g., the_password_form_redirect_url or
 password_form_redirect_to) to easily modify the redirect destination
 without parsing HTML.

 I will link a GitHub Pull Request with the proposed code and a unit test
 shortly.
