Secondary accounts need password updates but don't show up in the primary

I have 2 secondary email accounts that I access via the Thunderbird client.

They are no longer accessible that way.

If I try to login direct from the login.xfinity.com site it says that I need to update the password.

Clicking on the link takes me to this message:

Connect to your home WiFi to reset your password
You'll need to connect to your home WiFi, then navigate to xfinity.com/password to complete a password reset.

I am on my home WiFi so this is not helpful.

===============================

When I logon to the primary account to reset the passwords from there, no secondary accounts show up in the Accounts and Identity section

How do I get the accounts back?

Thank you for connecting with us here in our community, @zendrummer. We are happy to assist with your secondary email accounts. Have you been regularly logging into your secondary accounts? Are you confident you are logging into the Primary Xfinity ID when logging into www.xfinity.com?

I've been reading  the secondary mail accounts via Thunderbird and the IOS Mail app.

I have not been logging in from the Xfinity website.

I am 100% certain that I'm logging into the primary id.

Got it.  Can you tell me if you are able to log into them using your web browser without issue @zendrummer?

I can't login because they want me to reset my passwords. 

I get this screen:

Reset your Xfinity password

When was the last time you logged into your secondary email accounts from the webpage and not from Thunderbird?

You probably need to get with our Customer Security Assurance team to help you with this.  They may or may not be able to recover your secondary accounts.
