My thoughts are... "Generally accessible" doesn't mean "on the whole", or "most of it". It has a specific legal meaning of "accessible to the general public" 9.1 says "Your Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without charge," and you have said that anyone can get to your map. That satisfies that condition. 9.1 says "You may require users to log in to your Maps API Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee," and you have stated that your logins would be free. That satisfies that condition. 9.1 says "Your Maps API Implementation must not require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access," and you have stated that it won't: access is free. That satisfies that condition. Where there is any conflict or ambiguity, the TOS override the FAQ, which are there to provide a gloss, with specific examples. I think that restricting data with a free password is acceptable. In the end, the decision is yours and you may need your own lawyer to convince you one way or the other.
