The entered credential or authentication information does not work or are no longer accepted by provider. Please change them.

My secondary email account is no longer accessible, even through the xfinity.com site.  Clicking on the gear icon, "email settings" and then "Accounts", I see the secondary account has the message "The entered credential or authentication information does not work or are no longer accepted by provider. Please change them."  I have clicked on the "edit" link for the secondary account and changed its password but after doing so I still get the same message.  For what it's worth, I have also clicked on the "edit" link for the primary account where I only see three lines: "Account name", "Your Name" and "Email address".

@CMP1057 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I understand that you are unable to access your secondary email. Just to confirm, do you currently have active services with us? If not, when was the last time you accessed this email?

Yes, we have active service. We have been unable to access the secondary email since 3/3. I can still access the primary email.

@CMP1057, thank you for the details. The error message you are seeing is it on a third-party email client or from the Xfinity site?

Have you tried resetting the password yet, CMP1057? If not, could you please reset the password and let us know if it allows you to log in successfully afterward?

Do you mean the password for the main email or the secondary email? They use the same password.

The concern is not "accessibility / disability" help related............ Topic moved here to the proper help section.

@CMP1057 @XfinitySara @XfinityBillie @XfinityMarshante @XfinityNatalie @XfinityShawn 

In June of 2025 Comcast removed the ability to see all your email accounts at connect.xfinity.com .  Some customers, like myself, lost that ability rather quickly while others have been losing the ability to see secondary accounts or accounts such as gmail, yahoo mail, etc, from the connect.xfinity.com/appsuite page.  Therefore, customers will need to log out of each of their accounts before they are able to log in to their other @comcast.net accounts.  This was in preparation for the migration to Yahoo! Mail.

So, @CMP1057 you will need to log out of each account and log in to the next account in order to access your email.  Chances are you have not gotten the invitation to migrate to Yahoo as the transition has recently become an option and not mandatory.

Regarding email migration to Yahoo! Mail  It’s currently optional to make the switch. Eventually, we do plan to migrate everyone to the Yahoo servers (probably by late 2026) to keep our email systems streamlined. We’ll keep you posted as that timeline gets closer!

Hey, @CMP1057! Just checking back in as promised. Hopefully, between what our team provided and what one of our Experts also outlined, you have resolution (even if that means waiting for the full migration now that all steps on your part have been taken). As a reminder, you are always welcome to create a new post down the road if any other questions or concerns come up, and this community will have your back! In the meantime, take care :)
