Authorized Users for Tap and Go

Good Afternoon!

My family of four will be traveling in France, Italy, and Switzerland and will use RER, metro, vaporettos, etc... in the cities we will visit. I have read that each person needs their own credit card to tap in and off public transportation. My question is do authorized users fit this definition since each will have their own card? the reason I ask is that all are linked to the same account and I didn't know if it were different accounts that were needed for the tap and go?

I have so appreciated the knowledgeable folks who freely give their experienced advice on this forum.

My husband is an authorized user on my CC account, and he has his own card with a number that is different than the number on my card. He is able to tap and pay with no issues at all.

Normally yes that's fine - authorised users normally have separate card numbers anyway. If they are the same, you can load them to Google Pay or Apple Pay, and when tapped a new unique number is generated.
