 * OK, so I upgrade to 2.2.1.
 * I notice that when I use the password protection function during posting, the
   password is kinda global. Let me explain some more.
 * Let’s say I make 2 posts.
 * Post 1 with password 12345
    Post 2 with password 54321
 * Now, when I go to my blog I see these two post asking for the password. Here’s
   the funny part. If I enter ‘54321’ for Post 1 then Post 2 opens up while Post
   1 stays locked. If I enter ‘12345’ for Post 2, well… Post 1 opens up and Post
   2 stays closed.
 * Of course, if I enter the correct ‘12345’ for Post 1, then Post 1 opens up at
   it should. Same for Post 2.
 * So my question is, why does Post 1 open up when I enter Post 1’s password into
   Post 2 and vice versa?
