Howdy bmcrae7227 👋 We appreciate you being part of our community forums, and you've come to the right place for help!

To change settings for third-party access in Xfinity Email, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to Xfinity Connect using your Xfinity ID and password.
  2. Click the Gear icon in the top-right corner and select Settings.
  3. Go to the Security section.
  4. Check or uncheck the box under Third Party Access Security to allow or prevent access to third-party email programs.

By default, this setting is checked for users currently using third-party clients. Unchecking it will restrict access and may result in error messages when trying to set up third-party programs.

Is there a reason you're asking this question?  Is it in relation to the migration to Yahoo! Mail?
