I would like to secure my form so only those who have the password can fill it out.

UPDATE (August 20, 2019): Password protection feature is available now.
Here is how it works:
1. Open the Form Builder and find the Enable Password Protection option under the Settings tab.
2. If you select this option, you should set a password for the form. If you don't set any password, the Enable Password Protection option will be unselected.
3. When you set a password for the form, a person who wants to open the form will see this page:
4. If the person enters the incorrect password, s/he cannot open the form and will see this warning:
5. If the person enters the correct password, s/he can open the form and submit it. However, if you (form owner) change the password after s/he opened the form, s/he cannot submit the form and will see this warning:
6. You can reset the password by clicking on the RESET PASSWORD button or unchecking the Enable Password Protection option.
We do not have a password protection feature, and it is not recommended to use a 'password' keyword on forms since we have a proactive anti-phishing filter. However, it might be possible to create something similar with a conditional logic on form. We can show the form fields when a code field is filled, see the next animation.
Result:
Note, this is not a real password protection. The access code can be found in a page source by advanced users.
Alternatively, you can add the password protection to your webpage where the form is embedded.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know.
