  1. I tried to get my email working for days. Tried everything I could find, within reason. This fix with the “generate password” worked! Thanks!!!!!

  2. This has not worked for me at all. I’ve tried multiple variations over several days. AOL (via browser) says my account security is “healthy.” Yet I’m at the stage of having deleted the account from Mail (“Internet Accounts”) and am now unable to add it back. Always I get the message, “Unable to verify account name or password.”

    I’m running OS 10.13 on a Mid-2011 iMac, so not able or inclined to further update the OS. Surely a 4-year-old OS should work alright, right? This is just email we’re talking about.

    Thanks for any help,

  3. This method works until you sign in from another mac using Catalina or later. The issue recurs on my mac running High Sierra. The solution still works but it is required multiple times and no one mentions a global solution. I often look at the High Sierra OS that I keep on my laptop independently from the Catalina OS I use on my desk top. I have tried deleting all of the 4 AOL addresses and starting completely new but unless I get the one use password from aol for each of my addresses my log in not recognized.

  9. Manage app passwords->Generate FIXED my mail mail not being allowed to add my old AOL account even though the password was correct. Thank You!!

  10. God Bless ! I just don’t access emails that look ‘suspicious’ – I’m sure I deleted what AOL had sent – Seems exponentially more frequently there are different ‘hoops of fire’ to navigate – thankfully I was able to find your assistance in my keyword search – prayers – prayers – prayers

    Do you send out your info via an email list – I have just bookmarked your URL

    Many Thanks from one who REALLY RESENTS having to use my retirement time for ‘hoops of fire’

  11. I haven’t had access to AOL via Outlook for a week. I resorted to the AOL app but was keen to get this fixed. AOL couldn’t help, I didn’t beleive this would work but it absolutely did.
