Workaround appears to be remove the Passkey in your MS account for the Mac that’s running launcher.

had a similar issue, and was able to fix by removing the Passkey for my Mac in my MS account’s security settings and that fixed it for me, https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1j0mmia/minecraft_launcher_crashing_when_i_try_to_login/
I also tried signing in via my GitHub account, but that also crashes with same error.
macOS: 15.3.1 (24D70)
launcher: v3.9.23-2.2.2

Same issue here.
It appears the “Sign in to Minecraft” pop up is trying to access the Mac’s bluetooth and is being killed by macOS due to security reasons, specifically a missing “why the app needs BT access” string in the app’s Info.plist.
Looking at my crash report it seems like the MS sign in web page uses Chromium Embedded Framework which is trying to access the mac’s IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry
Could be a bug in Chromium Embedded Framework or the MC Launcher’s Info.plist (probably the latter).
Log’s Termination Reason: This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
Attached is the crash log
this workaround works for me → Remove the Mac’s Passkey from the windows/xbox account’s security settings.. 😑

putting it all together, in order to login with a default Passkey, we need someone to add the BT “usage” string to the macOS Java launcher’s Info.plist file.
