how unique/trustworthy is the int generated by LAContext.hash()

I'm trying to use biometrics to login to a webView application. I came across LAContext.hash() which you can run in your evaluatePolicy method. It generates a 10 digit Int. I tried it multiple times and it always returns the same number.

Any of you might know if it's unique? Can I use it for authentication?

Note: this is not a native app. I'm trying to leverage iOS biometrics to login to my WebView application.

if authenticationContext.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &error){

authenticationContext.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, localizedReason: "scan ... ", reply: { (success, error) in
    if success{
        let authenticatedHash:Int = LAContext.hash()
        print(authenticatedHash)
    } else {
        if let error = error as NSError? {
        }
    }
}
