Acrobat DC (2021) requires to sign in repeatedly

Hello there!

Some of our users reported lately, that in order to use Acrobat DC they have to sign in with their respectively Adobe ID on a regular basis. An example:

 

User A is booting his machine (Windows 10 1909 64-bit) in the morning and tries to open a PDF file. Although the cloud app is running, he is asked to enter his Adobe ID. When he does that, it then requires a security code, that is sent to his mailbox. Only after entering said code can he succesfully login to the Adobe Cloud and open the PDF file. This procedure is repeated nearly every single day.

 

Here are some of the things we already tried:

- Deleting/recreating the local userprofile

- Reinstalling Adobe Acrobat DC completely (incl. Cloud App)

- Updating Acrobat to the latest version

- Anything listed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/acrobat-keeps-asking-to-sign-in/m-p/11525698

- and here: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/acrobat-repeatedly-prompts-for-sign-in.html

- I even tried this procedure here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGYSZgJqOUo

 

Said behaviour isn't occuring with all the users, which makes this even more mysterious. No matter what we try, the affected users have to enter their Adobe ID at least once a day, which is driving them nuts in the long run.

 

In case someone will recommend to update Windows to the latest version (21H1), that isn't possible due to various reasons. But I think it should work with 1909 none the less.

 

Thx for the help, it is REALLY appreciated.

Hi Philippb

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described some of your users are getting the sign in prompt at least once a day to enter the Adobe ID and the security code when opening the PDF file.

 

It seems like some users have activated the two step verification on their account. Please try the steps shared in the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/manage-account/using/secure-your-adobe-account.html to turn off the 2 step verification and see if that works for you.

 

Also, please check your network settings and group policy settings if  its a work machine managed by IT.

 

You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Windows or enable the root account in Mac and try using the application there

 

Hope this information will help

 

Regards

Amal

Hi Amal!

 

I will try the recommended steps in the morning and get back to you. Regarding the network & group policy settings: They are identical for all users, even the ones that never experienced any problems of this kind. As mentioned in the original post, it only affects some users. I'm pretty sure, since I work in our IT department. 🙂
