How do I setup a 2nd POP3 email account in Outlook to use for two-step verification?

Xfinity continues to message me to set-up two-step verification for security, however, I only have one email account. My account is POP3 and accessed on my Windows 10 computer by using Outlook.

I would like to simply add a new mail address to my existing account with a name such as XYZ@comcast.net. Please advise in great detail how I can accomplish this.
