BBEdit asks for Apple ID password on every launch When BBEdit came out on the App Store, I removed the app bundle that I downloaded from the website, and installed via Mac App Store. Now every time I launch the app, it asks for my Apple ID password.

Is there a way to fix it, or should I just go back to using the version that I downloaded from the website?
Try the following steps to resolve the issue:


Uninstall the Mac App Store version. (Start Launchpad, press and hold Option key, and click on the ⨂ button shown at the top left of the BBEdit app icon.)
Download and re-install BBEdit from official website.
Install AppCleaner app.
Uninstall the version of BBEdit installed in step #2 using AppCleaner.
Restart your Mac.
Now, reinstall BBEdit from the Mac App Store.


Now you should be able to get rid of the issue.
