recieving continuous verification codes I didn’t request

Over the last 5 days I have received no less than 79 verification codes that I did not ask for. Most in the middle of the night. I assume someone is attempting to log into my adobe account (can't imagine why) or there is a glitch somewhere. I have reached out to Adobe support but it hasn't been remedied. Is anyone else having this issue?

Changing the password won't help, Peru Bob, so far as I can see as you get verification codes when trying to log on without it. The number is so high, and the fact it's at night, I wonder if someone is just doing this to annoy you.

Actually this post has nothing to do with getting Help Using this forum system so I am moving it to the Get Started forum.

Sounds like a persistent robot has your ID and is trying to crack your password.  I hope you use a very strong password -- 10+ alpha-numeric characters, upper & lower case and Two-step verification. Please log-in to your account below.

Same thing is happening to me. I have a strong PW but Adobe site won't let me change my email ID. Every time I enter a new email address it says "email address already used" and will not let me change it. I've gotten about 25 text messages so far today. Will this last all night?

Best thing you can do is change your password and have a two-step vertification. Think someone was trying to get into my account.

I'm having the same problem. I just recently set up a new ebook reader and had to change my Adobe pw, now I keep getting the codes texted to me. I'm not requesting them either. Why?

Having the same issue here. I changed email and password but I still get the text messages. I got in touch with Adobe via chat, but the support guy didn't understand what the problem was and wanted to turn my 2 steps verification off...crazy.

 

What should we do Adobe?

 

Thank you
