Reset Your Xfinity Password

We know it's easy to forget what password goes with what account. If you forget your Xfinity password, you can reset it by visiting xfinity.com/password. If you know your password and just want to update it, you can do so via My Account.

If you need additional instructions, we got you covered: Forgot your Xfinity ID? If you have a verified email or mobile phone number that’s your Xfinity ID. If you forgot your Xfinity username, you can look that up.

Password Security Tips

  • Avoid the obvious: A password based on a name, birthday, Social Security number or something similar isn't a good choice.
  • Longer is better: Use a password that is between eight (minimum) to 128 characters.
  • Use the entire keyboard: Combine numbers, letters (upper and lowercase) and symbols to create a unique, secure password.
  • Make sure you can reset it: Routinely check that your contact methods are up-to-date and verified (mobile phone number and/or personal email address).
