Failure with “wpcom connection test” for Jetpack

[jonnalita]

Hi. First of all; Loving this plugin. Thanks, Ben. Have been running it for some time, without any complications. But then with recent updates, I now have a conflicting issue with Jetpack. The connection is broken as long as password-protected is active. Once I disabled password-protected, Jetpack works fine again. Deactivating Password Protected gives the same result. Before they've been running well together.
I've gone through everything that was suggested by the Jetpack Troubleshooting side, but cannot get it to work. I would be very grateful for any assistance to get this fixed. Thank you very much.
Cheers, Jonna

Do you have the "Allow REST API Access" option checked in the Password Protected settings?
