I can see the option for changing your password, but you must know your old password in order to do that, but for the life of me I cannot find any option for Fogotten password! The Help guide must be out of date because my account screen is totally different to that shown. I do not get a Forgotten password option.

>trying to authorise another device

 

When you are installing or updating on a Mac, that is your Mac asking you to prove that you have permission by asking for your COMPUTER password, not your Adobe password

Because the auto login signed me in. However, the password in my Google password file is showing up as "incorrect" when trying to "change password". Go figure?
