The Divi Visual Builder doesn’t give an option to create a password-protected page. So, you can take advantage of the WordPress default features in case there are only a couple of posts or pages needed to protect.
In your admin dashboard, open the page or post that you want to password protect. In a Publish section on the right side, search for the Visibility option with the eye icon, and hit Edit.
There will be three options for you to set the visibility of a post including public, private, and password-protected. Simply check on the Password Protected option if you want to lock your post or page.
The box where you can input your password will appear right below the option. Once done, click OK. Now your post/page is covered by a password form generated by WordPress. Only users entering the correct password are able to access the content.

Sometimes your password-protected pages in Divi aren’t as appealing as you expect, you need to customize them to match your website layout. It’s possible to change the padding, width, and button colors of the password form by using some simple CSS.

.et_password_protected_form {
min-height: initial;
padding: 100px;
max-width: 700px;
margin: auto;
}
.et_password_protected_form .et_submit_button {
background: #8dc63f;
color: white!important;
border: 2px solid #8dc63f;
}

background: white;
color: #8dc63f!important;
}
@media (max-width: 479px) {
.et_password_protected_form {
padding: 40px;
}
}
