No. Google (or any other service) does not have some magic code that lets it
guess your password. Imagine what would happen to online banking if that
were true!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Re: Does Google crawl password-protected pages?

YES.

depends on how you password protect them, and whether you give Google the
ability to:

Some people want Google to be able to see what is behind the closed door and
so give google and its bots the ability to do this, of course if you do not
want it to, which most people don't make sure that your protection is
complete and not some JS cookie redirect thing which I saw on one site
recently (had to laugh). If normal, no JS users can't access the page, then
no one else will ...
