My email account will not accept my password. It usually does not even ask for it but it suddenly is asking and will not accept what I believe is the correct password. What can I do to access my email?

I can not access my aol mail. I believe I am entering the correct password but it will not verify it. This account does not routinely ask for the password. I am confused why it even asked for it. What can I do to get my email?

Have you gone to the AOL web site to see if you can sign in there using that password? If you can log in there, access your account settings, and see if there is an option to allow less secure applications to access the site (the wording may be different).
