Re: "Sign in Required" Loop

I had the same problem on a PC. After a couple hours with Adobe TS I called Dell TS support and we solved the problem. Had a rouge program in Firefox that was trying to reconfigure my proxy settings. Deleted it. Went into my control panel and deleted some programs that were downloaded in the last couple days. Downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-malware software, ran it to double check my Microsoft Security essentials and all is well.

I fix it! with 5 steps...

Tutorial for Windows:

01 - Search for Credentials Manager.
02 - Windows Credentials.
03 - Generic Credentials.
04 - On list of Credentials, Remove/Delete all credentials with "Adobe".
05 - Restart computer and open Adobe Cloud.

For anyone still having this issue (looping sign-in requests, in my case on a PC), there's a newer help article here:

That is a very old installation fix. No need to  uninstall anything.

Go to Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud/Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud

You now have an option to Repair as well as Uninstall. Click Repair and that should do the trick.

Nothing indicated in this "help" thread actually specifies ANY steps to be taken on a Windows 10 machine.

I FOUND SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR MAC USERS!!!

1. Open Finder

2. Go to /Library/Application Support/Adobe

3. Delete the SLCache and SLStore folders (and delete SLStore_v1 if that's there too).

4. Right-click on the Adobe folder that you were just in, and click Get Info.

5. Click the lock and enter the admin name+password.

6. Add your active user account by clicking the + button and clicking Select.

7. Give Read & Write permissions to everyone listed at the bottom of the window.

8. IMPORTANT: Click the gear button at the bottom of the window and click Apply to Enclosed Items.

9. Click the lock to lock the folder once more.

10. Open any CC application; this should work now! (After maybe one "Sign-In Required," that is, but it shouldn't pop up more than once!)
