Comcast has rolled out two-factor authentication or what they call
two-step verification for users who sign on either to their Web site or
their apps. To break it down into what I hope is plain English, it
offers a second layer of security when you sign in with your user name
and password. Even after entering your user name and password, you have
the option of receiving a six-digit verification code, which can be sent
to an email address of your choosing or as a text message to your
smartphone. Once you get this six-digit code, you enter it in an edit
box which will appear on the page. This process is an additional way for
you to verify that this is really you logging in and not an impostor.
This is an option and not something you have to go through. When I last
tested this it was accessible and was easy to turn on or off when using
a screen reader. However, if anything about this doesn't work as
expected from the perspective of accessibility, please let me know. The
instructions for enabling two-step verification can be found at
