Step Two: Change your Apple ID to a different business email address

Step Three: Create the Managed Apple ID

- Select Downloadable PDF, click Continue
- Now, copy and paste the credentials generated and store them somewhere safe:
- Next, in a different browser to the one above or in a private browsing window, head to https://business.apple.com and log in with the newly generated credentials. Add the user's mobile to 2FA and change their password to something secure.
