Cannot remove email address from account

I have spent the last hour trying to remove an email address from my account. Every time, I first get a MFA code sent to my partner's iCloud email which is not even part of the Xfinity account; and once I enter that and click Remove I get a "something unexpected happened" response. The chat assistant is ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY USELESS. I need to talk to someone who can troubleshoot this, because the account also has some of my various email addresses scrambled. Please help.

Hello user_b2t3db thanks o much for sharing your experience here on Xfinity Forums! When logging in, are you using the primary username/phone number/ email address for the account? And if you sing out then back in, is the email still there?

I'm not even sure. When I click on Sign In, I get signed in automatically with my wife's iCloud email address, which is somehow now the primary email address and which Xfinity shouldn't even have. I also just noticed that I'm no longer the account's Manager; now I'm just a Member. I have no idea how any of this happened. Strangely enough, the first email address I removed earlier today worked fine, but now I can't do anything else.

Hello @user_b2t3db, have you tried signing in using an incognito or private browsing window to see if it allows you to log in with your credentials? The email that you deleted earlier today was it tied to your Manager profile?

I was in private browsing mode; and the successfully deleted email was just a normal Member address. Further inspection also reveals that my Manager email address has somehow been replaced with an old address of my daughter's which she stopped using years ago, yet email is still coming to the correct (my own) address. Very bizarre.

By the way, thank you both for your responses.

That is a bit bizarre. What browser are you using?

PS: I'm also not getting any email notifications when a post is made here, despite all my Notification Preferences being checked. However, that's the least important issue right now.

So it is impossible to sign in as the primary account holder of my own account. Support is obviously just a word if I can't talk to a human being about fixing this. I'm tired of this attitude that customer service means customers support the corporation but not vice-versa. I think my 20+ years with Comcast (which used to have amazing support at one time) are coming to an end soon.

user_b2t3db Since your online profiles are a part of your online account security, we do have limited access at most levels, but our Customer security assurance team would have options to help make sure you can have a primary profile. Have you by chance already spoken with them?

Thanks for your reply. No, I have not spoken to anyone. I asked to talk to someone in my original post. Can you give me a number to call or provide a link to a number?
