[Improvement Idea] Password protected rooms

Hello staff,

First of all thanks for responding to my previous request, it was greatly appreciated by our community. That said, after some thinking, we would like to propose an idea how to improve on that with minimal effort from the team that any perchance community can benefit from.

The idea is that generator admins should be able to create rooms that are protected with a password. The implementation can be the same as it is for administration of comments plugin: a GET request to load messages from a password protected channel could include roomPasswordHash query parameter that takes a hashed password that admin on comments plugin had set up through admin command. To set up the password, comments plugin admin should log in first. Then, the command password should become available to them, which takes three arguments: verb (set or remove), channel name and plaintext password for chosen channel (if set verb was used). The password is then shared by the word of mouth, or in any way that the administration of the generator sees fit. KISS, gets the job done, and shouldn't take very long to implement.

Thank you!
