Password protection indeed only applies to posting and I consider this feature to be absolete simply because the group managment system can do this and much more.

Consider, if you have a forum protected by a password it means only people with that password can view/read/post in it. With the group managment system you can define a set of users who can access the forum as well as the actions they can perform specifically. Versus with password protection you are only blocking posting. Password protection is also not reliable since there is nothing to prevent user A from giving the password to user B.
