When you create a page and assign it to “Page for post” in Settings->Reading, it is not considered a page anymore but an archive. Taht is why standard password protection doesn’t work. You will need to build the latest posts page at your own, for example using a page template and/or pre_get_posts action.
You can use .htaccess to protect your wp-login.php. The Codex describes how to do so. There are also some plugins which do that job for you, finding and choosing a good one is up to you.
By default when a users submits a password reset from wp-login.php, reset_password is called. In user.php, reset_password() triggers the password_reset hook where you can see the plain text version before it is set.

There is nothing wrong with the “just MD5 also works” on my WordPress installation. As I was creating users via INSERT INTO wp_users (user_login, user_pass, user_nicename, user_email, display_name,user_registered) VALUES (‘login’, MD5(‘password’), ‘Name Surname’, ’[email protected]’, ‘username’,now()); INSERT INTO wp_usermeta (umeta_id, user_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES (NULL, (Select max(id) FROM wp_users), ‘wp_capabilities’, ‘a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}’); INSERT INTO wp_usermeta (umeta_id, user_id, … Read more
Because the_content doesn’t even process until the password has been successfully entered, you can add a shortcode that redirects the page, that shortcode will run only with good password. So, something like the following should work: add_shortcode( ‘pdf_redirect’, function ( $atts ) { $a = shortcode_atts( array( ‘url’ => ”, ), $atts ); // instructions … Read more
