Help generating a third party password in comcast or xfinity

One suggestion for using Outlook software to read Comcast e-mail is to generate a third party password for Outlook in comcast.  How do I do this?  I have called Xfinity help, they we not helpful. This is the method I use to read other e-mail in outlook. Example = Aol e-mail in outlook.

Hi there @Stephen_foor! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to be a part of our Xfinity Community Forum! Xfinity doesn't use separate third party app passwords, instead, you use your standard Xfinity password after enabling a specific security toggle in your web settings.

@DreamSayerZ has provided two links that contain all the information you need to successfully configure your third party email programs.
