I mean PmWiki does not do so. But it does not mean that it can't be
done.

Okay. But you have to make sure that the page source is protected too.
?action=source with same rights as ?action=edit (or better admin!!).

Here is a conditional for plain text password checks inside a wiki
page:

$Conditions['authpw'] = 'NoCache(end(@$GLOBALS["AuthPw"])==\$condparm)';

then you can use conditionals like

(:if authpw abcdefg:)(:redirect ClientA:)
(:if authpw hijklmn:)(:redirect ClientB:)
etc.
