Hello,
I've just noticed that it is possible to gain access to the digests at my Mailman users website without any sort of ID or password. Is this something I can change easily?

Yes. Go to the admin interface for your page, and click on the
"Archiving Options" link. Then click on the button next to the middle row, next to the label "Is archive file source for public or private archival?". Set it to "Private".

Assuming you are referring to your lists archives, go to your list administration page -> Archiving Options and make your archive private.
