Account Recovery for Deceased Account Holder

My dad was the primary account holder for our family comcast email and has passed away. The recovery email associated with the account is his personal email that I can’t access and the phone number associated with the account has been disconnected since his passing. Can someone assist me with logging into the account? Myself or my mom may be able to verify other details of the account.

Thanks for reaching out, my condolences go out to you and your family. Is the account still active or is the acount been disconnected and you just need access to the e-mail?

The account is still active. Although I know the password I just can’t log in because it does the two-step verification, and the only options for verification are inaccessible.

 Has great information on how to reset your password. If you are the Primary user on the account and you don't have a mobile phone number or a personal (non-Comcast) email address to provide, you can reset your password using your service address, Social Security number (SSN), and birth date if you're using your at-home Xfinity Internet connection and aren’t connected to VPN.

Unfortunately we don’t have Xfinity home internet, we have AT&T, so this won’t work

jqyquel7 We can check in to see if there is another option. If not, then the primary account holder has to make the changes. I am not sure we have a way to go around that.
