Adobe's real sign-in page is on account.adobe.com. If a link takes you anywhere else and asks for your Adobe password, close it. We opened each address below on 9 November 2026.

account.adobe.com

Adobe accounts: Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Express

## Domains Adobe uses

Not a complete list. Each address below can have subdomains in front of it (`www.`, `login.`), and they are still Adobe's.

- `adobe.com`

## Real Adobe domains where anyone can publish

These belong to Adobe, but the pages on them are made by its customers. A sign-in form here is not Adobe's sign-in page.

| Address | Why | Live phishing URLs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `adobe.com` | Adobe Express pages and shared Acrobat files live on adobe.com addresses but are made by any Adobe user. | 1,113 |
| `adobesign.com` | Acrobat Sign agreements can be sent by any Acrobat Sign customer. | 1 |
| `adobecqms.net` | Adobe Managed Services hosts its customers' own websites here. | 1 |

Live phishing URLs: any brand, counted in PhishTank's list on 5 November 2026.

## How to read the address

Look at the part between `https://` and the first single `/`. Read it from the right. The real thing ends in `adobe.com`, with nothing but a dot before it.

- `https://login.adobe.com/…` is Adobe: it ends in `.adobe.com`.
- `https://adobe.com.account-check.example/…` is not: it ends in `account-check.example`, and Adobe's name at the front is decoration.
- `https://adobe-secure-login.example/…` is not: a hyphen makes a different domain, and anyone can register one.

Everything after the first `/` is chosen by whoever made the page, so `…/adobe.com/signin` in the path proves nothing.

## What fake Adobe pages looked like

On 5 November 2026, PhishTank listed 73 live, verified phishing URLs that its volunteers labelled Adobe.

- **89%** used HTTPS. The padlock means the connection is encrypted, not that the site is Adobe.
- **13.7%** had "adobe" in the hostname. Most fakes give no such clue, so the absence of Adobe's name doesn't make a link safe either.
- **30.1%** sat on services anyone can sign up to, such as website builders, file sharing and QR-code links, rather than on a domain the attacker registered.

Hostnames from the same list that use Adobe's name without being Adobe's, newest first. Dots are written as `[.]` so none of them is a working link.

- adobe[.]professional-interviews[.]com

## Report a fake Adobe email or page

Forward suspected phishing to phishing@adobe.com.

## Lures to watch for

- "Someone shared a PDF with you" is the classic Adobe lure, and the shared page can really be on adobe.com. A shared document never needs your email password to open.
- Adobe advises opening its products directly through adobe.com or its official apps.

Not sure about a link? Paste it into the [free link checker](https://www.phishclean.com/check-link). It reads the address only and doesn't open the page. The [PhishClean browser extension](https://www.phishclean.com/) also checks each page you open for signs of a fake sign-in form.

## Questions

### What is Adobe's official login URL?

account.adobe.com (Adobe accounts: Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Express). A real Adobe address ends in adobe.com, read from the right of the hostname.

### How do I report a fake Adobe email or website?

Forward suspected phishing to phishing@adobe.com.

### Do fake Adobe sites use Adobe's name in the address?

In PhishTank's list of live phishing URLs on 5 November 2026, 10 of the 73 URLs labelled Adobe (13.7%) had the brand's name in the hostname, so most gave no such clue. 89% used HTTPS, so a padlock proves nothing.

### Can a phishing page be on a real Adobe domain?

Yes. adobe.com, adobesign.com, adobecqms.net belong to Adobe, but the pages there are made by its customers, so a sign-in form there is not Adobe's sign-in page. PhishTank's list on 5 November 2026 held 1,115 live phishing URLs on these addresses.

## How we checked

- **Sign-in addresses:** opened on 9 November 2026 and followed through every redirect to where the sign-in page loads.
- **Phishing numbers:** [PhishTank](https://phishtank.org/)'s online-valid list, downloaded 5 November 2026. Only URLs its volunteers labelled Adobe count, and many fakes are labelled "Other", so these are a sample. We didn't open any of them. Data shared under [CC BY-SA 2.5](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/); method as in our [phishing URL statistics](https://www.phishclean.com/research/phishing-urls).
- **Example hostnames:** hostnames in the whole list that contain "adobe" but aren't on Adobe's domains, one per domain.
