Same problem here. Been trying for a week. I "chatted" with someone that told me to clear cache and cookies.  That didn't work but when I tried it in incognito in Chrome it finally went through.  Hope this helps!

Greetings, @user_dfapa0! Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum. I'm sorry for the frustration this has caused everyone. We recently updated the account security protocols on our website, and I know some of these changes have been causing browser conflicts for anyone who was previously logged in to the system. Most of these conflicts can be mitigated by clearing your browser cache or using an incognito browser session, but this hasn't been a universal solution for every situation, unfortunately. If you are still experiencing issues logging in, please let us know, so we can take a closer look.

@XfinityJoe​ I appreciate the offer for a conversation Joe but it's not necessary. If you guys would just fix the website so that people can pay their bill without this message continuing to come up that would be help enough. I'm sure you know this has been going on for a while and while it may be caused by a crash of the database due to elevated number of people on the site at one time or whatever the reason is I'm sure there is a solution. One good system administrator could solve the problem in one day. If your servers are being over burdened then simply reroute traffic through DNS so that traffic is rerouted to multiple servers. Pretty sure Xfinity has the funds to pay for some more server space :-) have a great day

"Thank you for reaching out to our social media team,  it’s great we can connect this way! I understand how concerning it is to need to be able to access the Xfinity app for our Xfinity website. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app also have you tried clearing the caches and cookies on your mobile device and your desktop or trying different browsers on your desktop to see if you can access our Xfinity website

I have this same issue. Trying to pay my bill for the last 24 hours, but I get the same error message. I have tried using my PC with both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. Also tried on my mobile device using the Xfinity app. Same results everywhere. If you want us to pay our bill, someone better get this figured out. I am able to view my Xfinity email and look at my Xfinity account without any problem, just can't make a payment. Thank you.

PlaneJeff We recently added a new authitication step for payment I would make sure you have a non Comcast email address on file as well as a mobile number for authication.  If you have that on file already send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you. To send a Direct Message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, and then type or select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a direct message.

Same issue here. Cannot pay. Cannot add a new payment method. And don't act like this is something new, the same issue happened years ago. The system asks me to authenticate via email or text. I entered the code and then stuck in this loop of authenticating. 

Plus, this customer support infrastructure is ridiculous. The only way is to post here and be invited to send a "direct message?" Useless AI bots. Someone working at Xfinity please see my message, for god sake.

Have you tried incognito with no extensions on your browser?

Same issue, been happening for nearly a week now. My cancellation is TODAY and I NEED TO PAY!! 

I've tried two different computers and both Edge & Chrome as well as my phone through the web and the Xfinity app. 


Same error all around.

Tried chatting with tech support but it just sat at "you're next in line, waiting for a customer service agent" for over a half hour before I gave up.

Your site/servers/whatever are messed up which is INSANE being an internet provider!! 

FIX YOUR SITE

I am sorry to hear of the issue you are having with making a payment @user_aaron71. Are you able to visit a store or call 1-800-266-2278 to make payment over the phone?

I struggled with using Chrome. Finally switched to DuckDuckGo and was able to get in and pay. But no guarantees it will work next time; YMMV. Why do I suspect that they are trying to get everyone onto automatic bill-pay? And if it is THIS hard just trying to pay a bill, imagine how hard they must make it to cancel service!
