Can’t enable third party access - no gear icon

I’m trying to access Comcast email on my iPhone and this article says to “click the gear icon” after logging in to enable third party access. I have no gear icon to click after logging into my account.

... I have no gear icon to click after logging into my account. 

The Gear Icon is found in the top-right corner of https://connect.xfinity.com.

Select "(gear icon) / Email settings / Security" and ensure "Third Party Access Security" is checked.

Hello, thank you for the quick responses. Unfortunately, when I login there is no gear icon in the upper right hand corner. Just a avatar and a link to some options. Within the options are “account and identity” but no option to enable third party access.  Does it matter that I am no longer a Comcast customer, I simply have an email address from Comcast that I’m trying to manage. Meaning I do not have an active subscription for any Comcast services at the moment.
