Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an email address that is already associated with another Adobe ID?
No, Adobe requires each email address to be linked to only one Adobe account at a time. You must use an email address that is not currently registered with any other Adobe profile.
What should I do if I do not receive the verification email after changing my address?
First, check your spam or junk mail folders. If the email is not there, return to your Adobe Account information page and click the option to resend the verification email.
How do I change my email if I forgot my current account password?
You must first reset your password by clicking 'Forgot password' on the sign-in screen. Once you regain access to your account using the password reset link sent to your old email, you can proceed to the Account Information section to update your email address.
