Cannot sign into my account app

[kianasnyder]

Whenever I try to sign in it takes me out of the app to log in and then once I log in it just gives me an error message. I have an iphone 8, i’ve tried uninstalling the app and retrying, didn’t do anything.

you didn't state the errro message and error reference number. you can use a browser and go to xfinity.com and sign in and go to account.

the error message says
“*Access not Authorized*
You signed in successfully, but you must be an Xfinity user to enjoy this service”

that means the specific username you are using is not authorized to manage your account. call 800-Comcast and select billing if you are the owner of the account.

i’ve called the 1800-XFINITY number and it’s just a robot that wants to give me billing details. I am the owner of the account, there isn’t anyone else who has access to anything. I live alone, it’s just me. But Id really like to be able to view my usage and pay my bill through the app, especially since I was forced into paperless billing.

I haven’t changed the username or password since the beginning of using the service. I always use the option to sign in with my fingerprint, and it worked for several months. And then all of the sudden it quit working and started giving me the message i described to you.

The app has also proven much more helpful in troubleshooting wifi issues and contacting support. I understand that I don’t have to use the app, but it’s much more convenient and I never changed any login info so I don’t understand why I’ve lost access.

Same issue here. I have cleared the cache. Cleaned my phone. Removed and reinstalled the app multiple times. Still not working. It use to work fine until a few months ago.

Same here. For a communications company it sure has a lot of problems doing so. Very frustrating. Too many glitches

Hello and thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, I do not see a link to post publicly if you wish to give mne steps to do so I will.  

As for the issue, After 2 days of very long phone calls and multiple people on the customer service line I found someone who knew what they were doing and in 10 min they resolved the issue with me
