Link to section: Please provide a specific link to the section in question. In the docs, you can click on a heading and then copy the relative link from the address bar. https://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/#anonymous-user-authdata

What is the issue? Please provide a detailed explanation of the problem, quoting parts of the docs or using screenshots if appropriate.

More details on the use of this ID should be added.

  • Do we need to secure (keep secret) this ID?
  • Is it used as a seed, does it need to remain constant ?

Looking at the code, it doesn't seems to be used anywhere else than in tests.

Can you propose a solution? What changes do you think should be made? Have you considered multiple solutions? Will this be suitable for all use cases?

Add something like :

The ID is used for XYZ and need to XYZ.

Ah ! I think that ID refers to the CLIENT ID that can be set as a session ID, and not Server auth configuration (oauth providers/secrets)
