Q: Is it possible to set up an Apple ID that requires 2 people passwords? Like a dual signature?

We want to set up an Apple ID that requires 2 people to input their password for log in or deleting.  Kind of like a dual signature.  Is this possible?

    Hi

     

    That is not presently possible. The closest option at present is two-step verification, which - in addition to entering your password - also requires you to verify your identity using one of your devices or another approved method before you can:

     

    • Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account.
    • Sign in to iCloud on a new device or at iCloud.com.
    • Sign in to iMessage, Game Center or FaceTime.
    • Make an iTunes, iBooks or App Store purchase from a new device.
    • Get Apple ID related support from Apple

     

    Also, two-factor authentication (built in to iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan) is a extra layer of security for Apple ID. It will be rolled out gradually to users who meet specific system requirements and other criteria starting this autumn / fall.
