FTDNA_Kit Table

The FTDNA_Kit table holds the FTDNA kit and credential records the application uses internally to connect to and gather from FTDNA. It is not match data — it is the set of kits known to the app and the sign-in details associated with them.

Internal app data: This table stores internal application data, not DNA match results. The password column is internal credential storage used by the app to authenticate with FTDNA; it is part of the app’s own bookkeeping rather than gathered match data.
