Question

No access to email ID on Adobe account, need invoice/access to account

Currently in a bit of a struggle. I have a student account registered with my student mail. Not long ago my university changed the format of the email slightly which means I can no longer recieve emails at my previous mail.

I tried to log in today and cannot access my account with my normal password, but if I try and recover it the only way I can see is by email (my old one). I've tried to find a way of contacting, but there's no email to contact anyone and the live chat isn't appearing for me, so this forum is the only way (?)

I need to get ahold of the invoice within my account, but it's difficult without access.

Any help would be appreciated of what I can do next...

This is something that you, and EVERYONE at your school, Students and staff, needs to take up with the schools IT department.

No institution, school or business, should change the domain address (@ XYZ.EDU) for all their members/students without giving them access to the original email account addresses so they can still access them for just this reason. and they should also be monitoring those original addresses and forwarding any and all emails that may come into them to the NEW email address you are being forced to use.

IMO Adobe will not be able to help you. You need to work this out with the school.

My niece went to Virgina Tech 10+ years ago. Her school email address has not changed and she still uses it.

I agree with what you say - this happened when they moved from Google mail to Office 365. As far as I could see, there was no forwarding active.

As mentioned though, this has been solved after contacting adobe and answering a few security questions.

If you had a Google, Gmail, email account then YOU should still be able to access it.

It should have the same UserName and Password you used before.

You need to find your password. Don't you keep log-in IDs & passwords written down in a safe place? Have you tried contacting customer care by phone? Phone numbers & availability vary by region.

I mean, I stated in my first post that I tried with my original password which didn't work.. I use a password manager to store passwords and yet this didn't work.

This has been resolved now though.

Hi John,

I understand about this being a forum, although as mentioned I cannot access the live chat unfortunately, I do not see the three dots on the page. I've logged in with a new Adobe ID (as I cannot access the one I need), but no live chat is showing.. disabled all ad blockers etc.

Thanks
