My email won't let me log in on my phone but is fine on my desktop.

All of a sudden, when I try to log into my email account on my phone, which is something I've done using a browser for literal years - like a decade - it tells me my password is incorrect. Never mind that it's saved in my iphone and hasn't changed. When I log into my Xfinity account on my desktop using the existing password, it lets me in, no problem. This is only a problem on my phone. I've tried using Firefox and Safari, as well as the app. Help?

Thanks for reaching out — we know how frustrating it is when something that’s always worked suddenly doesn’t.

If your email works fine on your desktop but not on your phone (even though the password is saved and hasn’t changed), there are a few things we can check to get things back on track:

  1. Start with clearing the browser cache on your phone for both Safari and Firefox. Even if it’s worked for years, old data can sometimes cause weird login hiccups.

  2. Try re-entering the password manually, just in case the saved version is slightly off or corrupted. Even a stray space or character can cause issues.

  3. Double-check your device time and date settings — if your phone’s clock is off, it can sometimes interfere with secure logins.

  4. Since the app is also giving you trouble, try deleting and reinstalling the Xfinity app. Then restart your phone before logging in again.

  5. If none of that does the trick, you could also try generating a new email-specific password through your Xfinity account settings — especially if you're using a third-party mail app that might not support modern login security.

Let us know how it goes! We’re here to help every step of the way.

I've cleared the cache/cookies. I've restarted my phone. My attempt at using the app was new because I didn't have the app on my phone. I'm not changing my password yet again because of your system. FIX this.

@user_bsto92 Thank you for keeping us posted so we can continue working together to get you signed into your online account with your iPhone. Please check your saved passwords to see if your phone has the same information stored that your desktop used to successfully sign in. What do you see in your Passwords app? Does it match the information stored in your browser? 

 

  1. Open the Passwords app.

  2. Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, or enter your passcode.

  3. To view a password or passkey, choose a category or Shared Group, then select a website or app.
  4. To update a password, tap Edit, then tap Change Password.

  5. To delete a password or passkey, tap Edit, then tap Delete Password or Delete Passkey. In iOS 17 or earlier, select the website or app, then tap Delete Password or Delete Passkey.

The passwords are exactly the same. It continues to tell me the xfinity id or password entered was incorrect. Never mind that when I expose the password, it's exactly the same as what's on my desktop. This is ridiculous.
