ANSWERED: How to Add, Invite, Manage, and Remove Users on Your Xfinity Subscriber Account

How To Add and Invite Users to Your Xfinity Subscriber Account

If you want to give other members of your household access to your master Xfinity account, you can create up to six distinct users online.

Note: If you’re trying to link separate Xfinity accounts with existing Xfinity IDs, please follow these instructions.

By adding a user, you allow them access to your subscriptions, such as Xfinity X1 TV viewing. You also have the option to give a new user access to billing permissions.

Each account user must reside at the premises where the Xfinity services are provided.

To add a new user, you can invite them by email or text message to create their own Xfinity account.

  2. Click the Account Icon  and then click Account and Identity.

  8. Once the user accepts the invitation, they'll be prompted to create their Xfinity ID and password. The new user account will be created once the forms are completed.
    • Note: If no action is taken within seven days of the invitation being sent, the Primary user of the account must make a new invitation request.

How To Remove an Xfinity ID

Removing an Xfinity IDpermanently deletes a secondary user’s Xfinity ID. All settings and preferences for this user will be erased.

  • When you remove a secondary ID, you'll likely lose emails, voicemails and other information associated with the ID.
    • Be sure to print or save copies of anything you want to keep.
  • If the ID is linked to more than one account, it will not be deleted.
    • The ID will lose access to the account it was removed from.

Note: If this ID has made scheduled payments, those will need to be canceled prior to removing the ID. Only primary users can remove an Xfinity ID.

Xfinity xFi users can also manage access through xFi
