Click on your circular profile icon located in the top right corner of the webpage.
Select 'View Account' from the dropdown menu to open your profile settings. The email address displayed under your name is your Adobe ID.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I merge two Adobe accounts together?
Adobe does not provide a direct automated way to merge two accounts. You will need to manually transfer your files from one account to another and cancel the subscription on the duplicate account.
Where can I find my Adobe ID in the Creative Cloud desktop app?
Open the Creative Cloud desktop app and click your profile icon in the top right corner. Your Adobe ID, which is your email address, will be displayed at the top of the dropdown menu.
Why am I being asked to pay for a subscription I already own?
This usually happens if you are logged into a duplicate account that does not have an active subscription attached to it. Sign out completely and log back in using the exact email address or social login tied to your original purchase.
