Hello, @user_dggq8u! Just to make sure I understand you correctly, you are unable to log into your account and you do not have any recovery options, correct? Do you have an active Xfinity cable account?

Hi, XfinityTony,

Last week, I received an email from Xfinity telling me that the password had been changed by a secondary user on my email account. Emails stopped arriving for a while, then some emails has come through. I've changed my email passwords, deleted all but one of my secondary emails, and I'm now trying to determine what happened. I'm not sure if I have control of the email account or not. (I do have cable as well as email.)

Hi, @user_dggq8u,

Thanks for the follow-up and further details. I'm glad to hear you were able to reset your password, and you have access once again. For security purposes, another user wouldn't be able to update your login credentials as you can read about here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/primary-and-secondary-accounts. Can you provide a screenshot of this email if you still have it on hand?
