Problem:
The client is trying to set a specific translated page to be password protected, but the password setting is not being retained when the Yoast SEO plugin is enabled.

Solution:
If you're experiencing an issue where a translated page is not retaining its password protection setting when Yoast SEO is enabled, we recommend the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Settings.
2. Scroll down to "Posts and pages synchronization".
3. Uncheck the options for "Synchronize passwords for password-protected posts" and "Synchronize private flag".
4. Save the changes.
5. Apply the password to the translated page/post and check again.

Please note that if you have existing password-protected pages or posts in the default language and you update their translations with the Password Synchronization option turned off, the translations will not inherit the password protection and will need to be manually password-protected.

If this solution doesn't look relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket with us.
