As I've seen people confused about this on other forums, I thought I'd post here.
This is unlocked by getting a 5 win streak, where each win is using a different character. For example, as I did it: Eden, Isaac, Cain, Apollyon, then Azazel.
If you die or reset, the win streak goes back to 0. I don't know for sure if exiting and coming back later in the middle of a run hurts it or not, so best to do it when you know you can reach the end in one sitting. You CAN quit the game after winning and coming back to the main menu and continue the streak later for sure.
On your first run, you are starting at 0, so feel free to reset multiple times to get good starting items on the first floor. When you reach Mom, grab whichever photo item you want, but then after Mom's Heart, choose to take the opposite path. That way you can end your run early by just beating Satan or Isaac instead of ??? or The Lamb. Saves a bit of time and effort that way. Alternatively, you could just ignore the photos or reroll them into something else. I don't recommend going into boss rush, Hush, or Delirium unless you are insanely overpowered, otherwise you risk dying and losing your streak.
After your first win, the counter will go up on the character select screen. From then on, you choose a character and finish the run with whatever they give you, no more resets.
You can use any characters you want, as long as all 5 are different. I recommend something similar to my lineup. First run with Eden, you can reset until you get an amazing starting set of items. I don't recommend him for anything other than first though, as sometimes he can start with a terrible setup and you'll be stuck with it. Isaac is great somewhere in the middle, with his D6 you can pick out some better items. I like Cain for his good luck and starting with Paper Clip for free golden chests. And Apollyon is great with Void as even if you get a bad passive item, you can use Void on it for some stat ups instead. Azazel is nice for last as he is an easy and powerful character with flight and mini Brimstone.
After your third win in a row, you will also unlock if you already haven't
