You can create another club just for that tournament and make it private. That is what PNWCC did for some of their tournaments.

Creating a club tournament would have the same effect. I think lichess does the passwords because they don't have club.
The issue with passwords is someone could share it; whereas with clubs you as admin can approve them being in the club.

yeah, but there is already 432 players in my club. So will I kick out all of them?

No, you make a new club for the paid tournaments.

Why? Making a new club is free, and you can have all the participants join the paid entry club.

Is there a reason an Invite Only tournament wouldn't work for you?

Hello,
I am very active in Chess.com. Recently I went to lichess also. There, I saw something that is not in Chess.com. In lichess, you can make a password for any tournament and you can give the password to the members, who wants to play the tournament. Suppose, I am keeping a tournament with entry fees and prizes. So, I will only let the persons who payed the entry. But there is many members in the club by which I am making the tournament. Do I need to kick out all the players from the club who didn't payed he entry fees? This is very frustrating. I gained 400 members in my club and then I will have to kick out all the members just for making a prize money tournament.
So, this is my humble request to Chess.com to immediately make this option of keeping passwords in live tournaments and matches.
