If you are using Comcast's servers (pop., imap., and smtp.comcast.net), the email password is the same as the password you use to log in to a Comcast/Xfinity web page or app. If you need to reset it, see https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/changing-or-resetting-your-password. If you change it online you'll also have to update it on any devices, apps, and programs (email, Xfinity app. etc.) that use it.

Same problem with imap and also pop 3 login. Three different Windows PC's, three different email addresses with combination of Win10 and Win 11 and outlook 2016 and 2021. Everything has worked fine and suddenly at noon today all 3 systems prompt for email password and will not log in. Changed password on one of the accounts and still get prompt for password. Deleted one IMAP account and tried to re-add using correct servers and ports and fails to login to server. Login with passwords verified from browser login.
