hi bwolfe,
i have exactly the same problem as carolina.
unfortunately, i cannot use your instructions to solve the problem, because
i cannot find digital editions in the keychain list.
because in another forum (macuser/ apfeltalk), someone suggested to delete
the whole keychain, so that is what i did.
but still, to finish the setup assistant, i am asked to type in my password which
then does not work.
in addition to the problems with digital edititions, since the download, i am being asked every now and
then to type in my password when only using safari - but when i just choode quit,
i can use safari still.
i would be most happy if you could help me to set up the DE,
because i need to read this ebook i downloaded.
thanks, mary

Doesn't work. Digital Edition doesn't even show up in my keychain.

Hi, i have a posible solution...
I had the same problem: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY, what I did was go to the root account and from there active the application with the data for my adobe account, once activated in root mode, enter our normal mode and activate the Digital Editions following the wizard, this time if it worked perfectly.
Greetings and sorry for my bad English
Enjoy!

I spent hours cracking this problem. Here's the real fix:
a. If you see the error: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY then the application was unable to access your keychain. You can fix this manually (I had to):
i. Open Username (the house icon) then Libraries->keychains. Double click on login.keychain. It will open in the Keychain access application
ii. Select the login keychain and unlock it by clicking on the padlock icon next to it.
iii. On the right side you will see a list of applications. Double-click ‘Digital Editions’
iv. Select ‘Allow all applications to access this item’ and save.
v. Digital Editions should now be authorized.

Thanks, it didn't work because my keychain was already unlocked, but it gave me an idea. I locked the keychain and wonder of wonders.... I was able to open and use Adobe Digital Editions.
Thanks for working on it.

Does anybody out there know what to do when you get E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY
and my main computer is a PC and my ereader is a Nextbook 2??????
I have more than a dozen books sitting in my borders account but my computer and/or my Borders e-library won't load any of my books - it does not recognize the device.
Lordy, I am sorry that I bought an e-book and I'm sorry that I bought a bunch of e-books from Borders.
I really dislike being defeated by technology. I've spent hours on hold with Borders, can't find anybody to talk to at Adobe and Nextbook 2 is nonexistent. I was able to load the two first books I bought, but every time I power down, the books become corrupted and I've run through all the activations that 4 different emails can possibly do and now I am so frustrated by this, I just can't get past it.
Anybody?

I have a Mac, had the same problem. It turned out that I had Mac's keychain UNLOCKED. When I locked it the digital reader worked. I had no luck with Adobe trying to solve the problem except many hours on the phone waiting for help. Probably won't help you though.

For those of you who the lock and unlock keychain wasn't working here is what I did: all of the forums say to click on digital edition under passwords, mine wasn't there. I reset the keychain to facotry settings where it asked me basically start over. I gave it the same password and locked it and my digital edition worked fine. The person above me is right, adobe was no help with this. At first they told me it was because of my firmware which was not true, there were no updates needed. Another told me I had tried logging in too many times and even went as far as to reset my password, which was unnecessary. Just reset keychain to factory settings. Hope that helps.

Tried all the instructions throughout this thread. All fail. Cannot keep doing the same thing. I am now addressing Adobe: Please fix.
