"creative cloud wants to make changes - then user name and password "

This should be your login username and password for your computer not your adobe account. The updater needs an account with administrative rights on your computer to install the update.

Yes.  it works.   How come I have not thought of that.....

Perhaps you have not installed much software on your Mac.

All Mac apps (not just Adobe software) give you that dialogue box when you install software.
