My preference is to NEVER rsync across an un secured channel. Rsync is
easily tunneled inside ssh, and ssh can use rsa encryption keys for
authentication. Solving both problems with one solution.

How can one do two or more rsyncs with entering the password just once?

I've set up a script that I named copy2blue to copy three specified
subdirectories to my web hosted space, and it works fine, except it
asks me to enter the password for each 'rsync' command.

How can I modify this so it will only ask for the password once?

cd /dir/subdir1
rsync -avHp --progress subdir1 :www/subdir1/

cd /dir/subdir2
rsync -avHp --progress subdir2 :www/subdir2/

cd /dir/subdir3
rsync -avHp --progress subdir3 :www/subdir3/
