You have had general advice about password protecting pages. What
I do is simply put stuff up in a folder on domains under my
control, the addresses highly unlikely to be quickly stumbled
upon. And anyone who does is highly unlikely to have any interest
or connection with you or client or likely to cause any problems.
It takes a while to get noticed in search engines.

Not saying you should not password protect (it might even look
geeky and neat for the client!), just that is it worth it given
the very small risks involved?

Unless... unless... PATRICK! WHAT IS THIS SITE ABOUT? <g>
