Yesterday, I got a letter from Xfinity that my password had been changed. I hadn't changed it.

 

This morning, I can't make or receive calls on my landline phone. I suspect it's related. I have changed my password, disconnected and reconnected my phone to the modem. Still not working. I went online and did a chat with Xfinity and they sent me to a tech support that I would have to pay. I'm not paying for their problem. Now what to do.


@occasionalrain @They were hacked. You probably should call the company from a different phone to work out the whole problem, which can affect multiple types o service from them, including internet, phone.

A router/modem can also just up and die on you.  Took a bit for this old gal to figure that one out.  They are sly.

Comcast had data breach and customer were required to change their passwords. 


I got an e-mail telling me of the breach and to change the password for my main account.  I have 3 Comcast e-mail accounts but, only one is considered the main account for not only e-mail but, all things concerning my account. 


I was locked out of my account, so I changed my password.

How were you able to change your password if you were locked out?
