You are not misreading it.

It should work, though remember that the passwords are per-frontend
(something I dislike but assume too many people would care if changed).

Another reason could be the authorization window.
For example: you have aggressive parental control turned on, you change the
settings, entering the level 4 password, you then go to the video view
within that two minute window, you will not be prompted.
