passworded
Locked behind authentication
Passworded describes something protected by a password, requiring authentication to access: The document is passworded, a passworded Wi-Fi network.
The word is informal computing jargon—password-protected is the more standard form, but passworded serves as a quicker, more conversational alternative.
