Adobe keeps changing my password and blocking me saying there is more than one user

Community Beginner ,
May 25, 2025 May 25, 2025

I've seen others post about this but have not seen this situation solved. I have a computer at work and one at home. I am constantly being logged out and forced to change my password. I do not have anyone else using my product or computers. I had a case opened. He logged into my computer did work on both and told me it would never happen again. One week later it is happening and worse- forcing me out of the program. The programs are closed on the alternate computer (for example, if I am on work computer, the home computer has shut down the adobe apps). 

 

I really need to fix this as it's killing my day and I use adobe all day long.

Hi! Yes that had been done. I also had a adobe employee who logged on to both of my computers and did that as well as getting rid of files and deleting the programs and reinstalling. He said it wouldn't happen again but it is.

Like I said, I have had them log in multiple times. I had a case opened. I was told this would not happen again. I need to speak to a higher level supervisor.
