Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with Rank Math’s Immediate Indexation feature and the submission of your password-protected pages to Bing despite setting them to no-index.
To prevent pages set as no-index from being submitted to Bing using Rank Math’s Immediate Indexation feature, you need to ensure that the no-index settings are correctly configured both at the individual post level and in the Titles & Meta settings within Rank Math.
-
Individual Post Level: Make sure that the specific posts you want to exclude from indexing are set to no-index. You can do this by editing each post and checking the meta robots settings to ensure they are set to no-index.
-
Titles & Meta Settings: Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard, then head to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta. Check each tab to confirm that the default settings are as per your preference. If necessary, adjust the settings to ensure that pages set as no-index are excluded from immediate submission to Bing.
If you have already configured these settings correctly and are still facing issues, I recommend reaching out to our support team directly by submitting a ticket here with detailed information about the problem. Our support experts will assist you further in resolving this issue.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to resolve this issue for you.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
If you had set the page to noindex Bing will not index it on its SERPs in the first place.
It seems you may have activated Auto-Submit Post Types for that specific page’s post type which is why it was submitted automatically from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Instant Indexing > Settings > Auto-submit Post Types. There you can uncheck the post types you don’t want submitted to IndexNow API automatically and Save Changes.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
