Hi Roy.
I'm not sure that I follow your request.
do you want to be able to view RSS feed of a password protected blog? or setup a password protected RSS reader (google reader?)
Ken: I want to setup my own blog that is password protected for readers
May be a simple thought:
Why not create a restfull WCF service that throws out an Atom feed?
You could log via an ASPX page that is has a windows or forms-authenticated set in the asp.net web.config file?
You can reroute original data to a simple ASP.Net hosting environment.
Create your blog on blogger.com and then go to Settings / Permissions and configure "Blog Readers"
Roy,
LiveJournal was the only one (free) I found that allows password protected via RSS.

A free license of NHibernate?
In blogger settings you can direct it to host the blog on any ftp folder. So direct it to a password protected folder on a server which you can control.
If I understand right:
Sign up to some LAMP hosting (jaguarpc.com, webfaction.com, there are legion).
Install Wordpress.
ssh to your hosting
cd to wordpress' install directory
htpasswd -c {username}
{enter a password twice}
Done. You have now password-protected your wordpress with basic HTTP authentication.
The members-only plugin for WP sounds like it'd be better, though ;-)

Did you mean TypeMock or are you selling licenses for a free product? :)
