It isn't possible, Google or other search engines would not crawl password protected pages. Only web pages which are available public would be crawled and indexed.

No, it is not possible for Search Engines to view such pages as Search Engines rely on bots to crawl pages, more popularly known as Search Engine Crawlers, before they can crawl a page, the page robots.txt file should have a "Do Follow" in order for them to access the page but password protected pages are set as "No Follow" and that does not allow the Search Engine Crawlers to access that page.

Google won't index password protected pages

If you password protect your pages, only visitors who know the password will be able to view the content. Search engine robots won't be able to access the pagesPassword protected pages can have a negative influence on the user experience so you should thoroughly test this.

As per IT experts. pages that are password-protected will not be accessible to the search engines. Search engine robots typically can't log in to crawl pages, so content behind a login will not make it into the search index.

But, you never know with hackers :) 
