The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Reader Mode' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Can you link to an example article? It's not clear from this description what kind of credentials this is about and where things go wrong. Typically, opening reader mode will use the rendered copy of the website and so credentials don't really come into it. Step-by-step reproduction steps and a concrete URL would help.
This PDF has the contents of the reader's display. There are a few yellow highlights throughout the text, the main ones being at the bottom of the contents
Hi,
I compared the contents of a few normally displayed articles to that of the reader contents and actually all the contents match. What created my confusion was that the reader's versions included text warning me that I cannot access the full contents because the article is reserved to the journal's subscriptions. That text does not appear in the normal articles display because I do have a subscription and am logged in with my credentials. I guess that that text is hidden in some manner by JS code or other method.
This is an example of an article that shows the issue, and I attached a PDF with the extra text outlined in yellow:
https://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2024/10/28/plus-d-une-espece-d-arbre-sur-trois-est-menacee-d-extinction-a-travers-le-monde_6363290_3244.html
Now that I know that the full content of the articles is displayed this bug loses any priority you may have assigned to it.
Thank for your work !

Thanks for providing those details! That makes sense and does still seem like an issue, that we'll need to resolve in the readability library which we use for reader mode. I filed it it there, https://github.com/mozilla/readability/issues/919 . I'll close this as "moved" to the readability ticket. Thank you again for filing this.
