ChromeOS does not seem to play well with xfinitywifi based on many feedback reports. Seems to be two major issues: (a) incorrect password (b) stuck behind a portal.
This bug is filed for (b) based on this feedback report: https://feedback.corp.google.com/product/208/neutron?lView=rd&lReport=18355804509
