"On this day" notification shows full diary entry even with password

As the title mentions, both my Android app and Windows app are locked (fingerprint on the phone, face on the laptop), but when I get a "on this day" notification, depending on the length, they are either partially or fully shown inside of the notification.

Is it possible to "mask" it with some generic message if password protection is enabled?

I haven't seen this mentioned in the forum (I did a couple of searches).
Windows app is updated to the latest version as per the store - 2.9.60. Android version is also reported as the newest 2.9.62
Windows version is 22H2. Android version is 13, March 2023 update.
As for reproducing, it is enough to receive a notification about the previous entry.

You could simply turn off the feature completely or what exactly would be the benefit of a notification that does not show any meaningful contents? The current behavior is the intended behavior, so I change this to a feature request.

Thanks for the reply.
I was thinking whether to add it as a feature request or bug, but it seemed strange to have a locked diary but still parts readable from the "outside".
Anyway, the benefit is obviously to have a reminder in a way. And as for no meaningful content in the notification, it could be like email apps - they can show the subject and sender, but they don't show full email in the notification. In the case of Diarium, maybe the title and date only.

The title could contain sensitive information as well so that wouldn't really "fix" the problem. I'll keep this open for others to comment on how this feature should behave when enabling the password protection
