Trouble logging into HBO Max

I cannot log into HBO Max without it sending me back to "connect provider" screen.  When I logged in a few months ago, it worked fine.  Now using the same password/email it doesn't work.  What is the solution?

Hey there, @maleficient36! Thanks for creating a new post with your MAX login concerns. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've had, and I'd love to see what we can do to help! Our team is awesome to work with because we'll always do whatever we can to review and resolve issues quickly. It looks like you initially sent us direct message yesterday, to which we responded:

 

If you're trying to access HBO Max through your Xfinity account and keep getting redirected to the "provider" screen even after entering your Xfinity password and a separate Max password, it likely means you haven't properly linked your Xfinity account to your Max account; you need to go through the "Connect Your Provider" process within the Max app using your Xfinity login credentials to link them together; this usually involves selecting Xfinity from the list of providers and logging in with your Xfinity ID and password.

 

Have you tried this process again since we last spoke?

Yes, I have done this numerous times.  When it seems I have been successfully connected to HBO Max and click on a show to watch, it immediately sends me back to the "connect your provider" screen.  Then I try again to connect and the same thing keeps happening.  

Also that when I try to watch HBO Max on my phone or computer, it works fine.  It is only through the HBO Max on my TV that I am having this difficulty.  

Would appreciate any further help with this.  I am beyond frustrated.

@maleficient36 - I totally understand! Let's see what else we can do to help :) Before we move this back "offline" to take a closer look at your account and equipment, may I ask about the TV since that appears to be the main issue? Are you using one of our X1 TV Boxes, or are you simply accessing the MAX app on a smart TV?

I am using the Xfinity X1 box with a LG smart TV.

That's good to know, thanks for clarifying, @maleficient36! What troubleshooting of the box itself have you tried so far (i.e. manually power cycling it by removing it from power for at least 15 seconds, sending refresh/restart signals from the Xfinity App, etc.)?

Haven't tried either of those...do you think that is the solution?
