Introduction

Are you trying to recover your Comcast email account? As long as you can access the other email address or mobile number associated with your account, it's possible to regain access to your email. Those who disconnected their service still have access to their emails after service disconnection, provided they logged in within 90 days of disconnecting the service. Otherwise, you can no longer recover your account. If you have only lost your password or can't remember your user ID, continue reading for the steps on how to recover your Comcast or Xfinity account.

Visit the Password Reset Page

To start the recovery process, go to the password reset page. Enter your email address and click Continue. You will be asked to choose a verification method: either a password reset code sent to another email address or a code sent to your mobile number. Choose a method and follow the prompts to successfully recover your Comcast email account.

If you encounter other issues when resetting your password online, we recommend contacting Comcast or Xfinity Support for further assistance. Feel free to also visit an Xfinity Store near you if you have other concerns about your Comcast email account.

Find Your Comcast or Xfinity ID

If you don't remember your email address or username, enter your phone number and click Continue. You'll need to verify your account before you can get the ID. Once you have the username or Xfinity ID, go back to the password reset page to reset your password and recover your account.

If you have been inactive for a while, we suggest recovering your account ASAP to avoid closure. Comcast will send an email before closing your account, and you will be given ample time to log back in at least once. Sign back in if you want to keep your email address. Once emails are closed, you can no longer recover the contents, as all data will be deleted. And if a friend or family member sends an email to this account, the email will bounce, and the sender receives an "account not found" error message.

Users who decide to close their Comcast or Xfinity accounts can download their email data. They can go to export.xfinity.com and sign in to their account. How long it takes depends on the size of the data.

Conclusion

Were you able to recover your account? If yes, be sure to access your email at least once every 24 months. This is required to ensure your account stays active. Otherwise, you'll need to sign back in and reactivate your account to regain access. Two years is a long time, so this shouldn't be a problem. And as mentioned, users who disconnected their Comcast service can still access their email as long as they logged within 90 days of the disconnection.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Comcast Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Recover My Comcast Email Account? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible.
