GMailify with Comcast Email - Not Working - Authentication issue
Using GMailify with my Gmail account to use my Comcast email address has stopped working. It is returning an authentication error, 535.
I have changed my password and verified everything else. I am able to send from GMail through Comcast, but cannot receive due to authentication issue.

I see many people are having this problem. Is there any effort on Xfinity's part to address this? My Gmailify quit working recently after many years with no problems. I was finally able to connect using POP3 protocol, but now I randomly get an "Authentication error ... Temporarily blacklisted IP address" notification. Checking my comcast.net email via a third party email client has become very unreliable. Xfinity needs to seriously address and fix this problem ASAP!

I have just turned off multi-factor authentication (MFA), which Xfinity calls Two-step Verification (2SV), to my Xfinity account. I am now able to re-establish my Gmailify connection. Obviously this is a Xfinity (Comcast) problem that needs attention. However, until they get their act together, if ever, this work around seems to work.

I am also having the same issue. Comcast will not link with Gmail "Gmailify" (username and password don't match) although other email accounts (outlook and windows mail) do link and function as intended. I tried turning off two-step Verification (2SV) but this made no difference.

Hey Comcast, are you ever going to fix this issue?
I have changed my password and have disabled 2SV.
I have tried with several browsers and still run into the issue on my PC and several Android devices running the GMail app.
I am able to log into the Comcast site and get my email, so the password works.
When are you going to help us with a fix here?
