... xfinity app go to gear icon ...

Norton's instructions are a bit confused. You probably need to log in to https://connect.xfinity.com, not the Xfinity app.

Please see https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/third-party-email-access.

Good evening Opus18. Have you had a chance to also check the settings within the Xfinity website? There is a gear icon when logged into the website, usually.

If there is, it won't do the poster any good. They need to enable "Third Party Access Security", and can only do that at https://connect.xfinity.com/ by selecting:

(gear icon) / Email settings / Security / "Third Party Access Security"

I did find gear icon got to 3rd party but after that very confusing.  I already had 3 rd party checked. Norton says follow instructions for 3 rd party access and copy the code. I need to put in code for Norton so they can monitor my emails. 
Cauls not find code.

Opus18 I did look up some additional information on this. Once you have enabled third-party access on the Xfinity website, and configured your third-party email application, you would then need tp integrate with Norton, and this is where it looks like the code comes into play and is generated.
 
Here is the information I found: 
 
Integrate with Norton
If you are setting up your email with Norton 360 (such as the Norton Safe Email feature) or Norton AntiTrack, follow these steps:
  • When prompted by the Norton app or extension, enter the email you want to protect.
  • Norton will send a six-digit verification code to your real email.
  • Copy and paste this code into the Norton setup screen to authenticate the integration and activate protection features like scanning for phishing and malicious attachments. 

Please let me know if this helps.

@Opus18 Are you 100% sure it's Norton requesting the code? You can share a screenshot here.

Yes 109% sure. The screen shot will not show up here. Has some kind of error. This is a mess. Maybe I’ll call Norton because I’ve tried for 3 days and can get no password.
