we need you to set your PIN and security question

Every time I try to access my voice mail and call logs from my computer, I get a popup saying, "Before getting started, we need you to set your PIN and security question." But I've already set my pin and security question, and double checked them. And yes, before anyone asks, I cleared my browser cache. How do I access my voicemail?

You are not alone.  I have had the exact same problem for a few days even after resetting the PIN four times.

But there may be a fix...working for me at this moment.  You can access your voicemail system by dialing *99, then go through some prompts to enable "Skip PIN" in the system.  That appears to have fixed it for me.  Xfinity instructions are below.

@user_8w5eks​ Whats worked for me the past 2 days, is to click "get pin", then change the pin and  reset the security question, logout and back in, the next day I had to reset the question, logout and back in.

@user_8w5eks​ Having the same problem.  I called *99, went through the prompts, removed PIN number and it worked. I can now see my voice numbers again.   Thank you so much for the information.

It wont last.  I tried that.  Later, the same thing happened.

I agree.  The "fixes" that are described of: signing in and then signing out, changing passwords, etc appear to be almost random.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.  I have yet to find a definitive pattern I can rely on.

I just started to also get this error- on my laptop, on my iPhone and on my iPad. I reset my PIN and security question as well in response- with no luck. I would not mind if they just asked for the PIN input but they do not. I need to access my call history when away from home. I do not want to resort to forwarding all my calls while at work. This is ridiculous.

I am getting that too. I can't even check my voicemail.  tried the *99 and oh my even more codes it wants on that too.  Need a code for codes to get codes. Maybe its time to just make voicemail optional. Update I changed my pin and question and it still isn't accessible.

I had to call in and tell them the problem and that seemed to fix it. Fingers crossed...

@mellow63​ How in the world did you get someone on the phone?  Did it take an hour to go through the hoops they put you through?  I'm disgusted with Xfinity. The 'Pin' debacle, (I already have a pin and don't want to change it), plus losing internet connection dozens of times per day, which also drops phone calls.  Finally just went to an Xfinity store and was told someone would be here the next day.  Yeah, sure.  Never happened.

@JMS_427​ I'm sight challenged, and I've unfortunately been getting that same pop up every time I try to sign in to Xfinity Voice to view my call records, and it's a pain in the padded rear! Since when do I need to set a pin and security question when I already did that when I first set up my account?

On the sign-in page, is anyone clicking directly on access voicemail or email, I usually check email first then click voice mail, and get this popup, but while not signed in I click access voice mail from xfinity.com, it bypasses this warning and allows normal access

You cannot check your voice mail while not signed in.

Good afternoon @user_wm777. Besides clearing your browser cache, have you tried any other troubleshooting?

It appears that this problem has gone away without me doing anything. Strange.

Has anyone solved this problem?  I don't want to call Xfinity and be on the phone for an hour resolving an issue that should not have been an issue in the first place ... now questioning "diamond" membership.

As of yesterday, 8/17/24, it's one robot + three live agents = [Edited: "Language"] but no solution.

The worst part is that the agents - when you finally get one - act as though they don't know about this problem.

Just be honest and say 'we're aware of this problem but don't have a fix yet.'

Exactly! I could wake up in a great mood, but then dealing with the Xfinity Voice "ROBOT"

(which has NEVER solved ANYTHING for me ever !)

puts me in such a foul mood that by the time (10 - 40 minutes wait + then sometimes *disconnected!* )

So, by the time I DO finally get speak to an Xfinity agent I'm ready to SCREAM.

What used to seconds to check into my voicemail or calls on my computer / iPad now takes me 20 min or more to log in!

It's infuriating, exasperating AND there's NO excuse for this to be happening with Xfinity,

a company that is SUPPOSED to have platforms function properly.

On August 4 2024, I was prompted to set my PIN + Security Question.

I did that !!!!

Now every  [Edited: "Language"] Time I TRY to log in I get this popup:

"Before getting started, we need you to set your PIN and security question."

I did that !    Over and over !     Loop after loop !

Give me a "popup" so I can type my [Edited: "Language"] PIN!

Xfinity fix this!   Xfinity fix this!    Xfinity fix this!  

[Edited: "All Caps"]

Why doesn't one of these "Official Xfinity Employees" delegate to the company for us and let someone who cares know that this is going on???

This seemed to start after WINDOWS update. Coincidence?   I get voicemail after refreshing 6-12 times, otherwise this strange set-up message.
