the quickest way would be to use .htaccess and htpassword and use the protocols http already has for it. But that will lock out the whole site/directory, which may not be what you want. If you want to lock specific pages you could use ForntendUserd for that, but read in on that yourself, as I have never used it.

yes from what I have heard FrontEndUsers  (FEUsers)  is the module you want.  If you want to read the help I have gotten to set it up, the thread is here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 438.0.html
