Verify your password recovery options

Xfinity can help you get or reset your password in two ways:

  • Use a verified and eligible personal email (not your Xfinity email address [comcast.net]).
  • Use a verified and eligible mobile number on your Xfinity account.

If you do not have one of these, you may see a message when you sign in.

The Xfinity logo is at the top. There are two selections. Add an email address and Add a mobile number. Screenshot.

You may also see this message if:

  • Your personal email address hasn't been verified in the past year.
  • Your mobile number hasn't been verified in the past six months.

Enter password recovery information

Choose one of the methods below:

Personal (non-Xfinity) email

  1. Select Add an email address.
  2. Enter your personal mobile number.
    • You will get a text message with a code to verify it.
    • This helps reset your password in the future.
  3. Enter the code into the window that pops up within 15 minutes.
    • If the code expires, you will need to enter your email again to get a new code.
    • Note: You cannot use your Xfinity email address (a comcast.net email) to reset or change your password. You must use a personal email address (like gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, etc.). If you do not have one, use your mobile number instead.

Enter a mobile phone number

  1. Select Add a Mobile Number.
  2. Enter your mobile number.
    • You will get a text message with a code to verify it.
    • This helps you reset your password in the future.
  3. Enter the code into the window that pops up within 15 minutes.
    • If the code expires, you will need to enter your email again to get a new code.
