Adobe Pop-Up Telling ME Multiple Users are Using My Account

Community Beginner ,
Mar 17, 2025 Mar 17, 2025

Every day when I open Adobe I get a prompt telling me to change my password due to multiple users using my account. I check the devices on my account and there are only two. My home desktop and my work desktop. I use both daily and have never had this issue. I changed my password the first time I got the pop-up, but it persists daily. Usually I can bypass the pop-up by by hitting "learn more" and have been doing this for the last week. 

 

Today Adobe forced another password change. I chatted with a live agent and the agent told me I should sign out of a computer every time I'm not using it or upgrade to a team subscription. That seems ridiculous to me considering Adobe allows two computers per user.

Is this a new Adobe policy or do I need to change something on my end?

Spoke with an agent. They said it was a licensing issue and resolved the problem. Thanks for the help JW and kglad.

Can confirm 2FA is on and has been on for a few years now.

I am very concerned that you posted you spoke with someone from Adobe, Jonah. I don't see any interactions under your account. In addition to two-factor authentication, you can also use the steps in https://adobe.ly/429uvtv to add a secondary e-mail address to further secure the account.

 

Do you see the same prompt to reset your Adobe password on both computers? Have they been checked for malware and viruses recently? ^JW

I spoke with someone at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and selected the live agent option. I will admit I left the chat early after being told to upgrade my account out of frustration. I just did a malware and virus check and found nothing on my work computer. My coworker has also been having this issue.

To clarify my coworker and I  are both using personal accounts not sharing an account. She also uses CC on two devices and gets the pop-up daily.

Ok, you can use the steps in https://adobe.ly/43XM5Sy to review your recent support cases, Jonah. Please leave feedback on your case if you continue to receive password reset prompts. This will allow further investigation of your account if needed. ^JW

I did use the same account. It would've been around Wednesday of last week. I have 2FA on and usually get promoted to use the Adobe Authenticator app when signing in. I have both my email and text as an option as well. I've had that enabled for at least a year or two and haven't had any issues like this one before.
