Summary

Adds documentation for the password protection feature (from fern-api/fern-platform#5596). This creates a new page in the Authentication section explaining that password protection is an enterprise feature and users should contact Fern to set it up.

Changes:

  • New password.mdx page with overview of password protection and setup instructions
  • Added password protection card to the authentication overview page
  • Updated card links in overview to use correct /learn/docs/ URL prefix
  • Changed CardGroup from 3 to 2 columns to accommodate 4 cards
  • Added password protection description to the overview intro section explaining when to use it vs. other auth options

Updates since last revision

  • Fixed broken link to password protection page (corrected to /learn/docs/authentication/password-protection)
  • Added concise paragraph about password protection to the overview intro, explaining it's the simplest option for pre-release docs or basic access restriction

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Click the "Password protection" card on the overview page and verify it navigates correctly
  • Review the new intro paragraph about password protection for accuracy and tone consistency with the rest of the page
  • Verify the password protection page renders correctly at /learn/docs/authentication/password-protection

## How it works

When password protection is enabled, visitors to your documentation site are prompted to enter a password before they can view any content. Once authenticated, users can browse the site freely until their session expires.
