Why did I receive a request from Adobe Systems Incorporated to change my password?

I received a email from Adobe Systems Incorporated to change my password.  I changed my password, then received another email that stated that I had changed my password and the if I did not request the change to contact Adobe System Incorporated.

The same thing happened to me.
Yesterday, when I logged in, I was told that I HAD to change my password which is understandable, because Adobe was recently  hacked and nearly three million accounts were compromised.
See: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425215,00.asp
I changed my password at that time, because I had no other choice.
This morning, I received an e-mail from adobe, telling me that I had to change my password because of the recent hacking, etc.  This probably means that whatever automated system they're using to inform members hadn't been updated to take into account those who had just changed their passwords.
In any event, since I had just changed my password--and supposedly Adobe is no longer being hacked--I  just left the new password as-is.  But, it's probably a good idea, going forward, to change passwords on a regular basis--say once every few months.  Most sites tell you to do that.

  • Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out?

    Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out? I bought a Creative Cloud sub for a whole year about a month ago - with auto renewal too. I went back and checked my account with Adobe. That all seems to be in order. Why have I got an email telling me I have till 10 June 2012 before the sub runs out?

    I too have received this email and one telling me my trial software expires in 2 days. I checked and yes, again I'm showing trial software though AAM shows the creative cloud copy downloaded and installed. I was unable to reach anyone within 20 minutes of hold at Adobe customer support phone but was able to speak to someone named Karal on chat. Karal told me that Adobe would look into the matter and get back to me. When I asked for a case number I was told one would be sent to me after the chat. I'm still waiting.
    There are numerous problems with the Adobe Creative Cloud as everyone knows. What we need to keep in mind when dealing with Adobe Creative Cloud is that we are all BETA testers for this new type of service. Adobe was and is unprepared to service the Creative Cloud at this time but I can't believe they are not working to resolve the problems. Will some customers get "screwed" over during this BETA testing period? Of course. You have to expect that you will and take it with a grain of salt. Let's face it there really isn't another option to Ps/Dw/Lr/Acrobate is there? No, so let's calm down and try to help each other. The poor souls on the other end of Customer Support are just as lost and confused as we are..it's not their fault and they have no power or resources to fix the overall problems.
    I can tell you what I’ve done for the company I work for since I recommended the cloud and obviously it was not a good choice for us at this time,
    On 6/9 we will cancel the subscriptions to the cloud unless I find that the individual software will not recieve maintenance updates as is now the current rumor.
    We will upgrade our individual software packages with the upgrade option and request CD backups.
    We have contracted with DropBox for a 500mg box. I really like this service so far.
    I’m hoping this puts me back in good status with the boss and the graphics department as everyone will get what the need to work without the limitations of the cloud and without me spending hours each day trying to figure out support issues.
    Remember if you can live through the next 6 to 10 months the Creative Cloud will probably be a great thing. If not, bail now and come back when it's ready for "prime time". As we use to say in my RANGER days. "Suck it up soldier; this is what we train for!"

  • Why do I need a degree from M.I.T. to change my passwords in Thunderbird?

    With all the brouhaha about NSA and Heartbleed, and with all the recent problems with hacked emails, one would think the developers at Thunderbird would figure out an easier way for us to change our passwords on a regular basis. I use the Master password, but I also have several email addresses under the master account, each with different passwords. I have spent the better part of 3 hours just looking for a way to make these changes. It now appears that the only thing i can do is delete all my Thunderbird files from both computers, re-download, and set up all the accounts again. If I have to do that, it just makes more sense to change email programs.

    Thank you - but that doesn't work. I already found where the passwords were stored in the way you outline. But when I try to log on again, no dialog box comes up for me to enter the new passwords. I log out of Thunderbird, I clear the cache, I enter the Master Password, but then it just hangs there. No option but to close it again and try again.
    When I went online to the Mozilla help forum, I found something that indicated I need to go into the User folder, find the Library folder, then find the Thunderbird folder called Profile. I also did that and it's like trying to read hieroglyphics. I found the Profile folder and looked at it, but nowhere did I see a file that indicated it was a password folder. I literally started this project more than 4 hours ago now.
    REALLY Mozilla? Is there a reason you hide the password change mechanism even from your users? This is frustrating as hell! How about a little dialog box in the preferences folder that says "change password" ??

  • Did you get a letter from adobe regarding a security incident?

    Hello Adobe forum participants. This may be my first and last posting. I recently received a letter from Adobe systems regarding a security breach. The letter said that my info was caught up in the digital snatch and grab opperation. The letter basically states that i should do the cover-your-financial-*** dance by monitoring my accounts and obtaining a free credit report. It also directed me to some good info provided by the Federal Trade Commission at consumer.gov/idtheft
    The most disturbing part of the letter came from it's recomendation that i activate my "complimentary membership" with protectmyid.com. Luckily before hitting return after filling out the first page of the sign-up page, I decided to google this company and see what was being said about them and their service.
    Long story made short, do some research before give away your sensitive info. I've never done business with this company, I have no personal knowledge of any wrong doing on their behalf but if you read the testimonials provided by people who signed up for the id-protection service you may find yourself pumping the breaks as I did.
    Why Adobe would recomend that we use this service is a mystery to me, and yes, I asked.
    I used the chat option under customer service and asked,
    "Can you please tell me why Adobe would direct me to a Company with questionable credentials to resolve the recent security problems you've been experience?"
    The person, whom I'm sure was providing me with scripted answers said this;
    "I would request you to write us an email to [email protected] and the relevant team will check on this and contact you back via confirmation email."
    Fair enough. The guy was scencere, empathetic, and very professional. I'll be sending that email to customer servicee as soon as i finnish this post.
    The bottom line is, I love the Adobe brand. The Creative cloud is an awsome service for a complete novice like me. Their are definate risks associated with doing business online but the only way to minumize them is to either discontinue your online commerce, or research the hell out of anyone claiming to be able to provide a service in exchange for sensitive finacial information. I need all three of my pennys. what about you?

    Thinking of signing up for the @adobe Creative Cloud? Some of these horror stories might change your mind. http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud
    Remember to change your passwords and check your bank account for the next several month to make sure the hackers  that got all that sensitive data from Adobe don't access your accounts.

  • Where is the email address from Adobe Systems Inc changed?

    How can the email address to which Adobe emails are being sent be changed.  The most recent was sent on August 1 titled: "August 2013: Digital imaging news and events" from "Adobe Systems Incorporated".  There is an unsubscribe link but no "change address" link.  The number to call for help was called but they were unable to help.
    I have two accounts.  The gmail is old and is receiving emails; it has one license associated with it.  The yahoo has all the other licenses but receivs no emails.  Before having the license transferred the email issue needs to be straightened out.
    Both accounts have preferences as follows.
    preferred contact: Email
    receive communications: No
    Subscribe to adobe inspire:  gmail no: yahoo: yes
    Any suggestions?
    PS.  I did not find a better forum for this issue as it is not product related.
