My vote would be a content plugin.

if what you are trying to do hide a com_content article you could also do
the same thing with menu items.

You could in the content plugin check for a session variable.if it doesn't
check if there are POST items.

If so it checks if the post items are the assigned username and password.
If so it creates the session and loads the content item if not it either
loads a form instead of the content, or it redirects to something else.

I would be willing build this plugin for a donation to some charity or
something probably take an hour.
