If a computer is used by several people, it is mandatory that everyone logs in with their personal BA number. A local user account with which several people work may therefore not be used.
No MFA login may be set up with a technical account.
Important notice:
If you use the Safari web browser by default, please ensure that you allow Safari settings. There should be no problems with other web browsers.
Passkeys (and passwords) are synchronised with the Passwords depending on the operating system and stored in the Apple-Cloud. This means that passkeys are also available on other Android devices. If you do not want this, you can alternatively set up Keepassium (macOS 14.0).

If you like to have your PassKeys (and passwords) to be automatically available on all your Apple devices via your Apple ID, you can enable synchronisation; corresponding data will be stored in encrypted form in the iCloud. This step is optional. Alternatively, you may create individual PassKeys for each device.
In the settings, search in Apple ID - iCloud - Passwords & Keychain. Note: If you cannot see the iCloud menu under Apple ID, sign out of your Apple ID and sign in again. Turn on iCloud Keychain. You might be asked for your passcode or Apple ID password.

Otherwise, select iCloud Keychain in the window that opens and confirm with Continue.

If you use several web browsers in parallel, they should all work with one passkey without any problems. However, additional authorisations may be requested when logging in. Screenshot 11 show an example of logging in with the Chrome web browser.
