Narrative:

My company issued efb continually dumps; resulting in loss of display of the selected document and kicking the efb back to a state where it needs to be reopened with a password. This happens when changing documents or just displaying any document or paging through a document. This is very disheartening when it happens in the middle of an emergency or irregular procedure.

Title: B767 First Officer reports EFB difficulties requiring a password login any time a page is changed.

Narrative: My company issued EFB continually dumps; resulting in loss of display of the selected document and kicking the EFB back to a state where it needs to be reopened with a password. This happens when changing documents or just displaying any document or paging through a document. This is very disheartening when it happens in the middle of an emergency or irregular procedure.
