Problem:
How can I create a CRED Form that creates a Password Protected Post?

Solution:
It's not natively possible.

You will need to createa Custom Code using the CRED hook

cred_save_data()

and use the WordPress native API to update the Post Field

post_password

with the password your User Chooses (probably you use a Text Field to let the user add a password)

The Field is elaborated here
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/

The CRED API is elaborated here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-api/#csd

The

post_password

is NOT a Custom Field but added to

wp_posts

table as a row.

That means you need to use

wp_update_post()

function in your CRED

cred_save_data()

action to update that value.
