Error message when trying to connect to Max through Xfinity provider

I have been trying to access Max through my Xfinity subscription all day and I am receiving an error message. I keep getting the prompt to sign in and when I do so, I get the following error:

"response": "failure",
    "code": 5116,
    "status": 401,
    "detail": "unauthorizedInvalid authentication response from Synacor",
    "locale": "en-US",
    "title": "Partner Authentication error",
    "message": "Unable to complete partner authentication process. Please contact support."

This is happening whether I try to access Max directly through my cable box, the Max app on my Amazon fire stick or the Max app on my iPad.

This is extremely frustrating. Please help.

I was just coming here to post the same thing. I was in the middle of a show, got logged out and haven’t been able to get back in. After I connect with Xfinity as the provider, I get a green checkmark “You’re already signed in with Xfinity and ready to watch”, and then it goes to a page with the code posted above. I spent 30 minutes attempting to troubleshoot with Max.com chat to no avail.

@bejozach I am sorry to hear HBO MAX is not working. Are you still getting the error message?

user_qwy2s3 Thanks for posting on our Community Forums for assistance with the MAX application access. If you try to access Max on a regular website, are you able to sign in that way? You can use this LINK. Let me know if you're able to log in that way.
