Authenticated Wordpress Plugin
Overview
This WordPress plugin (tested on 1.5.x & 2.0) will make your blog accessible only to logged in users. A must-have for paid-content publishers and privacy concerned bloggers. This is a simple zero configuration plugin. It allows you to view any content, if and only if you are logged in.
Update
For few users the plugin wasn’t directly redirecting but bringing up an intermediate page. Brian found a solution to this issue. The plugin has been updated with Brian’s fix. If you are facing this problem then you are strongly encouraged to download the new version. Otherwise you may continue with your existing version.

Only you and your selected users will have access to the contents.
