> This sounds like a good solution. Just curious, would this be a plugin or a module? Can you direct which pages you want a plugin to be enabled like a module? Might want to do this for more than one page with different passwords perhaps? (Sorry if it sounds like I'm creating more work for you. :-) )

For example, you create a Joomla Article with an alias of foobaz. So that the URL of domain.com/foobaz finds the Article. But since there is no actual directory called foobaz, mot sure if .htaccess would be helpful in this regard. Or am I overlooking something?
