Is this an invasion of my privacy?

For context: Yesterday I called out of work sick. Around 2:30 PM I received a text from my boss saying she hopes I’m feeling better and that she’s sorry to bother me, but she was wondering if she could have the password to my computer as she needs to fix something in Adobe. Currently, I am one of three people in my office who has an Adobe license. Both of the other people who have the Adobe licenses were in the office yesterday so she could have easily asked them. Despite this, I gave her my computer password. I come in this morning and log on to my computer to see that my outlook is opened and an email is opened from a year ago. My outlook does not automatically open when I log on. I have to actively log on via the web which means she actively opened outlook…

Yesterday I called out of work sick. Around 2:30 PM I received a text from my boss saying she hopes I’m feeling better and that she’s sorry to bother me, but she was wondering if she could have the password to my computer as she needs to fix something in Adobe. Currently, I am one of three people in my office who has an Adobe license. Both of the other people who have the Adobe licenses were in the office yesterday so she could have easily asked them. Despite this, I gave her my computer password.

I come in this morning and log on to my computer to see that my outlook is opened and an email is opened from a year ago. My outlook does not automatically open when I log on. I have to actively log on via the web which means she actively opened outlook and used my password to log onto my email. Then proceeded to look through my emails. I then look at my phone and see that a bunch of phone calls were made off of my phone and I’m assuming that was also by her.

I feel like this is a total invasion of privacy and want some thoughts on it. Should I confront her on this, should I go to HR, should I change my computer and email password? Really not sure what to do or think.

Edit: It was my password for my computer she asked for. The computer password and work email password are the same.
