How can I set up Protected Pages so users only have to log in once?

I’m using the Protected Pages module to make an area of the website – which is about 13 pages – password protected. The problem is that users have to enter the password to view every page rather than being able to enter the password once and then being able to see the entire section of the website (the members portal).

I had only one thing in the list of password protected pages which was /members which is part of the url. Every page that is supposed to be password protected has a url of website.com/members/pageName but that didn’t work because anyone could just put the url straight into the browser and the page would should up without having to enter the password.

So, i added all 13 pages to the list of password protected pages but now users have to enter the password on every page.

We have two menus on the site. The public menu and members menu. When a user logs in to the members portal the menu changes and when you select a page from the menu, you have to enter the password every time, but we want it so users only have to enter the password once and they can see all the pages in the members portal.

How do I set that up?
