No, and no. It downloaded the website that anyone can see without signing in. Any hidden bits are still hidden. You also can't log into your own account (or anyone else's) in the archive, as clicking the "log in" button just brings me to the live site (I even tried this with my internet disabled and it gave me a "you don't have internet, idiot" error).
When I ran the program there was an option to put sign in information but I don't even know if it will sign in automatically to the site, or if that was meant for websites that require an immediate sign in to even view it.
The program basically opened up every single page of NPF and saved the publicly available html code that anyone can see by hitting F12, or that anyone can save by right clicking on the page and clicking "save as" (at least in chrome).

Also if you're curious
here is the program I used. So you could try it yourself and put your own login information when it prompts you and hope it works, but be warned it will take you around 10-12 hours (honestly can't remember, and my windows 10 decided to update in the middle of it and it spent a few hours rechecking files when I started it up again) to download the site because its DL speed peaks at 30-40Kb/s so you won't know if it even worked until the next day.
