Yes i'm afraid for whatever reason Adobe Photoshop Elements versions 2022 and older don't seem to work on macOS Tahoe 26.

Probably the easiest course of action is to upgrade to Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 2026.

I have ?bought? Photoshop Elements 2026 after Tahoe 26.3.1 broke my prior version. However, it is not accepting any password on installation that I give it. And that is odd, as normally I use biometric to install. I don’t want to repurchase! and I don’t need Premier. 

Help!!!

@cceagles 

The password being asked for is not an Adobe password. It is your operating system asking for a password to allow it to open your Adobe app.
