P: Do not require an Adobe ID to add metadata to shared albums

[Wade27056464fpls]

I am a photographer who uses Lightroom collaborative proofing. I want clients to be able to make image selections without having to sign up for their own Adobe ID.

Although it is free most people don't want to have to sign up with another username and password to a website that they feel they are likely to never use.

The workaround that I've been using is supplying my clients with an email and password for an additional 'free' Adobe account that I have setup however this only allows 5 people to use the credentials before it requires 2 factor authentication (making this system unusable).

If proofing selections were able to be made by 'anyone with the link' it would make the system much more usable to so many more people.

Recently I have found that LR web has a feature which offers image proofing. However, if I share a gallery with a client, he/she has to have Adobe ID account ir order to mark their favorite images. Why this is needed, if client is going to use gallery once. 

There are services like cloudspot, pixiest. They do not force users to have their accounts. E.g. cloudspot asks user to enter email and name in order to allow create favorite lists. But do not ask create passoword or provide other data. 

Forcing people to create Adobe account only for image proofing does not make any sense to me. These people are not potential Adobe software clients (most likely). I cannot ask them to create account for one time  and later to hear that Adobe is sending marketing emails, etc.
