can I add a local items keychain to my Mac 12.1.1

also how an I have 2 factor auth but not have it show up on the computer or other devices- only the authorized phone . seems if someone steals my computer they can send for an auth and get back in no matter if an 2 factor auth is set up because they see the code !?

I say on phone don't trust this computer -but that doesn't seem to matter.

Thanks.

Using Physical Security Keys I recently set up two physical security keys on my Apple Id account for 2FA purposes. I did this using my iPhone running iOS 16.3, the minimum iOS version necessary to set up hardware security keys. I also have a MacBook Pro which is quite old and thus cannot be updated beyond macOS Big Sur. This OS version does not allow for adding hardware keys to the Apple Id account, which is why I used the iPhone to perform that operation. Associating the hardware keys to my Apple Id is great for security since the hardware keys are now required to log in from any device other than my iPhone or MacBook. Having set up the hardware keys, it suddenly occurred to me that I may have created a trap. What happens if the MacBook gets logged out of the Apple Id account or becomes disassociated with that account in some other way? Will I need the hardware security keys on the MacBook to log it back into Apple Id? If so, I have made a problem for myself since my MacBook OS version does not allow using security keys with Apple Id -- at least that is my understanding. A clarification from someone who really knows this stuff would be greatly appreciated!

Apple Configurator 2 asking to export keychain Hi I've been trying to set up a Mac to use Apple configurator 2 to set iphones into our ABM. I've used the instructions from our provider to setup the Blueprints. But, when I plug a device in I get a pop up asking: Apple configurator 2 wants to export key "Apple ID Authentication 2020-07-30 07:34:50 GMT-07:00" from your keychain. To allow this, enter the "login" keychain password. I have no idea what this would be? I have tried all of the usual passwords that we use. Can someone tell me where it is getting this from? Thanks. Richard
