Xfinity could be blocking the third party access, so it might have nothing to do with password. Have you logged on to the webmail account using a browser and selected to allow third party apps ? This was a new level of security added by xfinity. Please check this first: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/third-party-email-access
