Keeps asking me to sign in after new homepage update November 2022

If I leave xfinity and return to check email, site keeps asking me to sign in after new homepage update November 2022.

Yes, I continually check "keep me signed in" but it never does on any device. Please don't tell me to always keep tab open because I turn-off devices to charge.

BTW ABSOLUTELY HATE new design and miss the news/info on old homepage!  Cutting costs?

Hi there, @user_9c0645. Thank you for reaching out to us via our forums. We are still working on issues with the website. We recommend clearing cache and cookies on your browser to verify if that assists with retaining the "keep me signed in" option for the login.

I appreciate this information and your feedback. When you do fully close out of the tab and turn off the device, it does sound like this is how our website is currently expected to work. We will definitely take your feedback going forward though!

No one is saying what browser you are using, so I will use mine, Firefox, for the example.

I rarely go to the homepage, instead coming here by bookmark.  After all, I spend most of my Comcast time here, and hence, click on the email icon at the top of this page.

However, I just checked my settings in FF.  Under Privacy & Security, I scrolled down and checked to make sure that Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is NOT checked.

Although I use a third party email client to check my comcast.net, I do have occasion to check email from the website when helping here.  Yes, I have stay signed in checked, which sets a cookie.  You have to set a cookie for email or you won't stay signed in.

The URL is https://connect.xfinity.com/

So, I went to email in a new tab and DID have to sign in [more on that in a minute].  After getting to my Inbox I went to two different websites in the same tab and then came back to webmail typing in the URL.  Not a problem.  Did not have to sign in.  So, then I closed out the tab.  Started a new tab and went to the above URL.  Not a problem.  Did not have to sign in.

Although I haven't done it, yet, I believe that if you close out your browser and then restart it, you most likely will have to sign in again.  This is for security reasons.  While you may be the only person on that particular computer, just in case someone with nefarious ideas decides to browse your emails, they would have to sign in.  Of course, if you have a browser password manager that autofills usernames and passwords, well, that all goes out the window!

I hope that helps some of you with email.  This most likely works with the my.xfinity.com website as well.

Chrome and the xfinity site glitches because from andoid tablet and phone to pc, yes all are chrome, it randomly stays but always asks for password, but more often requires full sign-in!  Xfinity has been my homepage for years (since comcast bought at home) because of the email access and news updates and until this update, if I checked stay signed in, it stay signed in regardless of leaving site or shutting down device.  Sometimes updates are not improvements but just change for change's sake, i.e., new coke.

You need to check Chrome settings to see if you are accepting cookies for the Comcast site.  Without that cookie, checking the stay signed in isn't going to work.

Okay, what finally and partially fixed problem was copying and pasting the xfinity address line into homepage address after I logged totally in because I noticed it's slightly different from old xfinity one - maybe change bookmark if you access it that way.  I've tried it on all devices and it works, sometimes sign-in completely and other times will ask for password which is still better than it was.

I write this on Thurs Nov 17, 2022. For the past 6 days I haven't been able to login to my email account. I input my Xfinity ID then click the Let's Go link. The page continuously loops back again to the same beginning login page asking for me to once again input my ID in an unpopulated box. Never continues on and opens the input your PW page. This happens in multiple browsers (Brave, Firefox, Chrome) & using all of my multiple PC's running Win 10 Pro x64 & Win 7 Pro x64. However, interestingly enough, by using Microsoft Edge browser it does accept my ID, does accept my PW, does send me the 2-factor authentication code by mobile, does log me into Xfinity Connect email portal. However, once there, it immediately displays: "Error ........ We're sorry. It looks like something went wrong. Please try again in a moment." That message disappears in a moment.  Otherwise, all that appears on this page are the top 3 headers. When reading from left to right. The TOP header lists the 3 vertical line drop-down menu link, the Xfinity link, the Email link, the Address link, the Voice link, my account nickname (my first name) and underneath the name shows the sign-out option (obviously verifying that I'm signed-in at this time), the help center link and finally the settings link. On the SECOND header it displays the compose link, the refresh inbox link, the reply to sender link, the reply to all recipients link, the forward link, the delete link, the move link, the print link and finally the View dropdown menu link. On the THIRD header it displays the All drop down menu link and the Sort drop down menu link. In the area where my messages are set to appear it displays "EMPTY". And of course no emails appear and on the left no folders appear. I have had the View options set to Layout (list) and the Options set to (message size). Under Sort all that I have had selected was Date and Ascending. For 6 days I've phoned & chatted all-around-the-globe including speaking directly to an Executive Customer Relations officer at Comcast Corporate Headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. The ONLY info that I have been told by anyone at Comcast is that there is a nationwide outage involving down-dysfunctional servers & platform software corruption for which they obviously to-date (my opinion/conclusion) have no clue about or how to fix.

@user_ecf476​ I'm having a similar issue. This continuous loop back to the overview of products page. I've been trying to reset my modem password. I login to my account and it shows my current services. I click internet. It briefly starts to load my modem and internet details and then immediately loops around to the "product overview" page and request me to login again. Using chrome on Win 10 Pro. cleaned browser and cookies...nothing. Tried setting up a new account which linked my current account, nothing. I tried to access my account on my phone and I get the same exact loop. This is insane and I'm about to find a new provider.

This has been happening for MONTHS now. I'm a contractor and it's a huge time sink every month when I go to retrieve my bill for expensing. EVERY page gets a login barrier and an SMS requirement (2FA). If I don't receive every code (and wait for xfinity SMS to work again) my half-completed login times out and I have to START OVER. 

The pain is DOUBLE if you use 2 factor authentication because the browser is seen as "new" on every page you navigate.  It seems Comcast doesn't know how to share session cookies between servers on a load-balanced website. 

This EASILY costs me 30-60 minutes per month and it's factoring into a decision to switch to Fidium Fiber (faster, cheaper, and symmetrical)

@Scooter_NH​ Same issue. Huge waste of time, and the fact that Xfinity is not acknowleding the issue and is not providing an estimate for a fix is a terrible user experience. Very disrespectrul of Xfinity.

@user_ca7874​ It turns out, Comcast KNOWS about the issue but nobody will document it except other frustrated users. 

Here is a YEAR-OLD post that (allegedly) fixes the "infinite login loop":

https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/xfinity-app/fixing-login-infinite-loop/6172fb5e356f1c35c0abf014

UNFORTUNATELY I can't try it today because I get "This number is blocked for a while. Please try another option or try again later."

They have sent me too many texts, apparently, which is ironic because that's what this fixes...

Going to have to switch to paper billing, because this has caused me to miss out on expensing at work (I only have 30 days to expense something and I can't keep trying this broken interface every day...)

@XfinityRobertA​ EcoBill was not my problem. Or it is rather insignificant issue vs the bigger issue of EVERY page in Xfinity was prompting me to login AGAIN. Just like the OP reported, I was getting the near-infinite login loop.

unrelated: Comcast actually disable the page scrollbar.

..I can zoom out as far as Chrome allows, and I still can't access the bottom of the page... 

Such a move is going to reduce interaction on hot topics like this, hmm.

(This forum's page styles now appear fixed. At least for me, meaning I can now scroll to the bottom of the page normally)

Mac OS user here and it does the same thing no matter the web browser. It doesn't matter how many times I check the "don't ask again on this computer" box it will force me to log in every time. Want to look at data usage? Log in again. Want to look at rewards 20 seconds after looking at data usage? Log in again. Want to check data usage again later the same day? Log in yet again. Even the app on my iPhone makes me log in constantly to check rewards.

I'm not a Mac user, but on my laptop using Firefox, at least for coming to the Forums, I rarely have to sign in.  It deals with cookies and your browser.
