I am sorry to hear you have this issue with your email. Are you able to access your email online at Xfinity website? @user_9gxrx1

Yes but cannot open my email on my devices.  Asked to enter password for IMAP account “comcast”.  Happened out of the blue 😔

Thank you for clarifying, @user_9gxrx1. This seems to come up from time to time, whenever there is a security update on one end or the other. Have you already confirmed your third-party email client access was still enabled (https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/third-party-email-access)? That used to be a bigger issue in the past, but it never hurts to check again, just in case.
