Phue.conf file

What is the username string in the phue.conf file that is generated during the Philips hue set up? The file seems to contain the device ip and a “username” which seems to be encrypted. Does anyone know what the username is, or how it is generated in this file?

{“192.168.x.xxx”: {“username”: “SOME_STRING”}}

it’s generated during the button press on the hue when you connect it to HA. It’s just a randomly generated character set.
