Update Your Name in Adobe Account Settings
This is the primary method to change your legal or display name across all core Adobe services.
Changing your name in the main Adobe Account settings will update your profile information across your Creative Cloud apps and billing communications.
Open your preferred web browser and navigate directly to https://account.adobe.com/profile.
Log in using your current Adobe ID (email address) and password.
Locate the personal information section on the profile page, edit your first and last name as desired, and save the changes.
Update Your Display Name on the Adobe Community
Use this method if you only want to change how your name appears to others on the Adobe Community forums.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why hasn't my new name updated across all my Adobe apps immediately?
Account profile changes can sometimes take a few minutes to sync across Adobe's servers. Try signing out and signing back into your Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app to force a data refresh.
Can I use a different name for the Adobe Community than my main Adobe account?
Yes, your Adobe Community display name can be edited separately by going to your Community profile and clicking the pencil icon next to your name, without affecting your primary Adobe account billing name.
Will changing my Adobe account name automatically update my billing information?
Changing your profile name will update how you are addressed in general communications, but if your legal name has changed, you may also need to update your billing details separately in the 'Plans and Payment' section of your account.
