Notifications: Can't open new post notification about password-protected posts

[rachelmcr]

Expected behavior

If I am subscribed to get web/app notifications about new posts on a site, and the site publishes a password-protected post, I expect to get a notification in the app similar to what I get on the web:

That notification includes a link to the post on the site so I can view it directly.

Actual behavior

In the app, I get the same notification in my notifications list, but the notification detail doesn't open. Instead, it shows this error:

You're not authorised to view this post

List	Detail

As a result, I can't get a link to the post or view it from that notification.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Follow a site.
2. Enable new post notifications for that site. (In the app, go to Notifications tab > Settings icon > Select the site under Followed Sites > Toggle on "New posts" to enable new post notifications.)
3. Publish a password-protect post on that site.
4. Check your notifications and confirm you see a notification for the new post.
5. Tap the notification to try to view it.

Just wanted to share this is still valid. Tested on current develop (at this point in history) on Pixel 4 Emu API 29.

One thing to notice though is that in my case the web side link (even though present as stated) brought to a private post page without a direct link to the page on the web site (as visible in the address bar here below)
