description:
If you see this, then you're trying to access an authenticated onion. An authenticated onion service is an onion service that requires you to provide an authentication token (in this case, a private key) before accessing the service.

The way this paragraph reads, people might be confused that the private key is provided (i.e. transmitted) to the service. Perhaps it's worth clarifying in a sentence that "The private key is not transmitted to the service, and it's only used to decrypt its descriptor locally", or a variant of this.
