If a computer is used by several people, it is required that each user has their own local user account.
It is not possible to set up an MFA login with a technical account.
Important notice:
In order to set up the passkey, a code matrix must first be set up.
If you have activated MFA, you must use it on all devices to log in. It is recommended that the setup procedure is carried out on all devices, with the setup being completed on a minimum of two devices. This is because there is no requirement to use the code matrix to set up the device again in the event of a malfunction.
