It is possible to hide cell and put password to view it?

A cell in the data editor? No. This isn’t possible. You can make this functionality available on the front end, though, by using a text entry component (“password entry”) written to a user specific column that satisfies a visibility condition on a component that displays that cell’s value.

Although, that’s not a secure method of protecting the contents of a cell. There is a feature to protect a column, but that means that it won’t be accessible at all.
