coreauthd is a system daemon or agent that provides LocalAuthentication services. It maintains the authenticated contexts and presents the authentication user interface.
Basically, it means that coreauthd is what triggers those prompts asking for your password while you’re making changes only permitted by administrators.
f you have a MacBook Pro with Touch ID, coreauthd is also launches those prompts.
Finally, coreauthd manages how long your elevated permissions stay active. For example: enter your password in System Preferences to make administrator level changes, and you’ll have admin access to settings there until you close the System Preferences window. If you close it, you’ll need to enter your password yet again to make administrator level changes. There are lots of little rules like this that manage how long admin functions last, and coreauthd is managing them.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…
Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
