Once an album set has password protection, is that inherited automatically to all the albums within that set?
Thank you for your time!

I believe that is only on the album set. That way you can give someone the access code and they only have to enter it once. But give it a try and see what happens.

Sorry but after entering name and password nothing is protected at the album set level or album in that set.
Is there a way to password protect the whole site?

Sorry but I don't understand. I set the password protection when making an album set but then when I go back in to edit it, the setting is back to public and now needs an access code.
What good is the password on the album set and where is it used? Also now assigning an access code does nothing to protect the album. It is easy to bypass the album set access code if you know the address of the album, that despite having a nice lock in front of it, opens without and access code.
I must have got off the bus too soon.

Ok, after noodling around a bit I think I was thrown working in the same browser and not clearing the browser cache.
I set the album set access code. I set the album to public, so I wouldn't have to enter two access codes.
When I clicked on the album set, the browser asked me for the access code. Without entering the access code on the album set, I then entered the address of the album and it asked me for the access code.
So I appears that entry into the album set at any point demands the access code. But once entered, it allows access to all album set albums.
Thog finally gets it. I think...

Backlight 3 uses access codes, not usernames and passwords. Perhaps if you're still using the old Okapi templates.
There was an issue with Publisher not displaying that correctly. First be sure you're using the latest version downloaded from your Backlight Modules page.
Backlight does not provide a way to password protect an entire site.
You can assign access codes to albums and album templates
If using Client Response, then either an access code or email + password, depending on if it's a managed album
