The getUserAuthProvider implementation was actually already removed in 
2009.  See
https://github.com/collective/Products.membrane/commit/572299287d5e2ab58fe8162a1325a68e535006b3

You should use getUserObject instead.  This functions the same way, but 
it also accepts an optional user_id argument:
  	
-    def getUserAuthProvider(self, login, brain=False):
+    def getUserObject(self, login=None, user_id=None, brain=False):

I have updated the interface to reflect this:
https://github.com/collective/Products.membrane/commit/3ec998e9f022e6f56969a57a32246644178f152f

I will probably do a release this week or the next.
