What is memberAuthID in the members APP database?

I have imported members into the database and wondered what the memberAuthID is used for? It seems it has to be the same ID as the memberID so what is its use? If the memberAuthID is different then you see the profile of a different member when logged in.

It's the ID used by the authenticator. For the native authenticator it should be the same as the memberID. For an external authenticator it would be the identifier used by that system.
