If you want the benefits of registering without giving away any information, you can use a gibberish email address. As far as I can tell, Adobe only checks that your email address contains "@" and ".", so sabbfhwpeqasdg@zzsawrsh.com is fine. After ADE is installed, you don't ever have to remember your login details unless you have to reinstall, so just write it down and keep it somewhere.

I routinely use
noneof@yourbusiness.com to make my point, just in case a human actually reads it. Unlikely, I know, but possible.
Not reusing passwords is a great idea-except you need to have a system for remembering them. I currently have about 100 sites that require a login. Can I remember 100 passwords? I'm lucky to remember one-so I store my login information in a single password-protected document. Plus I write them down as a backup. Writing down passwords used to be a no-no but today security breaches are more often online rather than due to physical access-so the 'sticky note' password is less of a problem. I still don't recommend making it quite that obvious though. At least put it in a desk drawer, preferably locking.
