Can't login to Xfinity website asks to reset password
Can't login to Xfinity website asks to reset password continually. I have other Xfinity emails and I can login to the Xfinity website without issues. It's just this one account I can't get in.
When I click on the "reset password it goes to this -
"Need help resetting your password?
You can reset your password by connecting to your home WiFi network and visiting xfinity.com/password. If you still need help, give us a call at 1-800-XFINITY."
I can't reset the password.

The account was compromised due to the fact I hadn't changed password in "x" amount of time along with not having a back up email or phone number. Had to call Customer Security Assurance team at 1 (888) 565-4329 to get this cleared up. I am now able to get into account without issues.

Same problem for me on two of my "subaccounts". I can login to my main account but no option to reset the password to the subaccounts. It took me 25 minutes to get through the electronic voice prompts to speak to a human (the automatic system would only allow me to reset my main password which is the only one that is working!). Another 25 minutes with her on hold. She said both accounts were "compromised" at the exact same time. Highly unlikely as they are very different names with very different passwords. I see lots of post with people having the same issue. Sounds like a problem on Xfinity's side much more than somebody hacking my emails. She said the issue was escalated to "CSA". Wait time for them is over 20 minutes. Been waiting almost an hour for a call back.
This is unacceptable

I've had the same issue for a few hours now. I have 2 accounts and one I can get into without any issue but the other one says I need a new password and then it won't let me reset it. VERY frustrating.

So, I got mine fixed after about 12 hours on the phone. But, how are we supppsed to have backup options if you only let each backup email or phone number be associated with one account! Also, this long of a wait is unacceptable for something as critical as email access.

Quick answer (as others mentioned) - It's a known issue from an xfinity update. TO fix, call this number 1 (888) 565-4329, wait on hold about an hour, and then they will fix it in 5-10 minutes.

I've had this issue for 4 days now. Am sitting on hold with the "support team" and the wait time continues to be 40 minutes. Cannot access my subaccount. Able to access main account. If I go into Outlook on my laptop I can actually see my emails and it looks like I can compose emails. Hope this helps anyone trying to at least get to their mail

I had the same problem for 3 days. Instructions I was given was to sign into my primary account, click the person icon next to the shopping cart, go to account and idenity, scroll down to the email that you want to change the password for, click on that name and change the password. Hope it helps! GL

[Edited: "Language"] I have had this issue for over a year. One of my email accounts is locked out (now weekly) because "as Xfinity Security told me, someone overseas tried to login three times unsuccessfully". So I have to pay the price and call them, despite having a phone number on file which they never contact me on. So my accounts are on the dark web???? No fooling thanks to OPM, Experian, T-Mobile, Verizon, Samsung, Home Depot, name your poison breaches. My passwords have not been broken. Xfinity security said I would get a call or text to confirm whether or not I was attempting to login because someone overseas was trying to access my email and I got them only because I threatened to cancel service. Nothing, nada, zippo from Xfinity. Well, [Edited: "Language"], I'm not overseas so BLOCK THEM NOT ME or roll out Multi-factor authentication like most SMART companies do.
What I do notice, is that it always occurs first on my Samsung phone and does not affect the Linux or MS systems (6) that I use to access the email. I am sick of this. If it happens one more time, I will cancel all of my Xfinity services - PERMANENTLY - and use my free gmail account and go back to DirecTV.

I spoke with Comcast today after spending several hours on hold. The agent led me to believe that this issue would be corrected in a few days. It sounds like it's going to take a lot longer!

Comcast is requiring everyone to change their passwords on all of their accounts. You will need to do this online. If you need help you can call:
Customer Security Assurance
Business Hours: 8:00am - 12:00am EST, 7 days a week
Contact: 1-888-565-4329
Be advised there may be a lengthy wait time on hold.
