Blackbaud ID: Sign in with Apple

Users who don't use a single sign on (SSO) can link their Blackbaud ID to their Apple ID. This is known as a "social sign in." Users and schools who already use iOS devices, such as MacBooks and iPads, should consider this option.

   • When users sign in with their Apple ID, they must agree to their Apple's authentication. This may include multi-factor authentication (MFA), such as sending a verification code to a smart phone or other device.
