Apple Authentication

When you sign in with your Blackbaud ID, you can choose to authenticate through Apple. This social sign-in option uses your Apple ID for authentication requirements, password resets, and other needs.

To use Apple authentication with your Blackbaud ID, select Continue with Apple on the sign-in page. On the page that explains the requirement to select Share My Email in your Apple settings, select Continue with Apple sign in. Then on Apple's sign-in page, provide your Apple credentials.

Warning: You must share your email address to authenticate through Apple. If you don't, you can't access Blackbaud solutions or receive critical email from Blackbaud. If you hide the email address by mistake, see our instructions to fix your Apple setup.

You can turn off Apple authentication at any time and sign in through Blackbaud's secure authentication service. You can use any type of email address with Blackbaud's service, including your Apple email address.

  1. On your Blackbaud ID profile, select the edit button beside Blackbaud ID.

  2. On the Edit Blackbaud ID screen, select Disable Apple authentication.

  3. On the Disable social authentication screen, select Send confirmation code.

  4. Go to your Apple inbox and open the new email from Blackbaud Authentication Services about your Apple account.

  5. Copy the confirmation code.

  6. Back on the Disable social authentication screen, enter the code and select Confirm.

  7. On the updated Disable social authentication screen, enter a password for Blackbaud's service that meets the password requirements.

  8. Enter the password again to confirm it.

  9. Enter your first and last name. They are used to identify you in the Blackbaud ecosystem.

  10. Select Confirm. This signs you in through Blackbaud's service and returns you to your Blackbaud ID profile.

You can change your email address, password, and authentication method again as necessary. For more information, see Personal information.
