There's no built-in template tag for checking if a page is password protected.

You have at least three options to work around this

1. Use a condition to check if some unique string that (with very high probability) only occurs in your login form occurs in the page content (see below)
2. Create a page template extender (check Page.Protect and Page.Password)
3. Use Razor in your layout template to check if the page is password protected 

I recommend going for number 3. 

For number 1 you can add

<!--SomeStringThatOnlyOccursInTheLoginForm-->

to your login template and then check for this in your master template

<!--@If(DwContent(content)<contains>SomeStringThatOnlyOccursInTheLoginForm)-->
<pre>This page is protected by a password</pre>
<!--@EndIf-->

(replace "content" with the id of the first content placeholder in your layout). It's a hack, but it works.

You have to check that the session variable with the page password as key has a value that's equal to the page password (!). It's easier to explain with a piece of code:

var page = ...;
var hasAccess = (string)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session[page.Password] == page.Password;
