I do not own a cell phone.  I do not WANT a cell phone.  How do I let Xfinity know I do not use apps (application files).  I do not want verification requests sent through mobile apps.  Please fix this and notify me when you have done so.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

I am not having access issues at this time.  It will happen again when I clear my browser  Two step verification SHOULD be a customer choice rather than a mandate by a platform.  This should apply for all long time customers.  I realize with millions of unknown new people in our community there is a need for security to identify them, however many people do not have or want cell phones.  When I want to log into some sites, two step sends a code to my email because I have no cell phone and Comcast will not let the email through.  I am unable to log into my insurance company or a couple of shopping sites where I can't update my credit card!!  This has become a problem for me and no human is out there with any ability to correct it.  Makes me hate A.I. too.

Of course it took 6 days for a reply.  Then you send me to a page that tells me how to turn off or on my cell phone. This tells me that you did not read my complaint.  I do not have a cell phone.  I need instructions for controlling my computer. How do I turn off two step verification on my computer?

TOTALLY AGREE with "LavenderLizzy" -- Comcast/Xfinity is hung up on forcing it's customers to use a cell phone for business.  I have two email addresses on file, plus a home phone and a mailing address, and they keep hounding me--more often than monthly--for a cell phone number.  I've reached maximum frustration that they will not listen to a customer's complaint or, if they do, they won't respond appropriately.
