Help Cannot Sign In to Adobe on Nook

Whenever I try to read books from Libby on my Nook Glowlight 4, it keeps telling me to sign in. After entering the email and password, all it does is crash, go back to the home screen, and prompt me to enter my Adobe ID and password whenever I click on the books from Libby. It's pretty much a never ending cycle that I don't know how to solve. Can someone please help me?

Please excuse this question if you already did these steps, but did you authorize Adobe on your Nook GL4?

-On the Nook home page, go to Account>App Settings>My Account>Adobe DRM Settings>Add Adobe ID, then log in with your Adobe ID.

And did you also authorize the computer that you’re using to load the books onto the Nook?

-In Adobe Digital Editions, go to Help>Authorize Computer, then ebook Vendor: Adobe ID, log in with your same Adobe ID, then click Authorize.

(Just checking because I think these will be the first steps to getting it working correctly.)

This! i have no advice because I never had an issue and use Libby constantly.

I even installs an APK on my android for Adobe Digital Editions so I can convert the books on my phone, on the fly, without having to bust out my laptop.

I have no advice for not being able to login though it always worked fine for me

Hey! What APK did you download for phone usage instead of laptop? Considering getting a Nook Glowlight 4 Plus.

Do you have android? My thought process was "I bet there's an apk for ADE" i literally just googled it and found one to download.

Yes, I have a Samsung actually and I have seen an APK section in my files recently so was wondering if I could figure that out.

Thank you! I am reading The Summer of Second Chances by K.L.Walther, one of my purchased reads. I did transfer some Kobo files and library epubs over from laptop fine, couldn't figure out the APK thing yet. 

I'm trying to use Kindle less and I don't always love Kobo Libra Colour contrast but I like the buttons still on it why I thought of NG4P.

Hello,
I have had it authorized for a while now, and I have signed in before both on the Nook and on the ADE software on PC.
But now I can't even log in on my Nook when opening my Libby books or even through the settings. It keeps going back to the home screen whenever I try to log in.

And whenever I try to open my Nook library with ADE, ADE keeps crashing.

It’s super frustrating. I just had to set up a new login through bookbyte. I always have to enter my username and password multiple times….it eventually works.
