Magento customers associated to website "Admin"

Question

What is the purpose of having a customer Associated to Website "admin" in magento instead of the normal default website, etc? I cant seem to find the logic of why that exists.

Answer 1

I think it is only based on where the customer was created. The weird thing is I know if you do something like a forgot password attempt on one website but your account was associated to another it will redirect you to the other one. I assume if the store id is 0 it will just redirect you the the current one.
