Currently the apt-add-repository does not support adding private PPAs, and it
already mentions this when you try to add a private PPA, so this bug as
decribed in the title does not exist anymore. Based on the latest comments, I
am updating this to a Wishlist bug to support Private PPA's with the method
described in comment 3.

Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support

software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
possible for it to get the password etc.
