How do I get my AOL account to be verified in System Preferences, Internet Account? I use AOL on Safari for emails; I changed my password a few months ago, and now get a message "unable to verify account. If I delete it in accounts, what gets removed? Someone with that problem on these forums says they deleted it as an internet account and then added it back in. What does that step remove and from where? Or is it a simple matter of adding it back in to reactivate and avoid the error message? I have High Sierra on my iMac.

"Unable to verify account name or password" for AOL in Mac Mail. I had deleted the AOL account on my Mac. When I tried to reestablish the AOL account in Mac Mail I got the message, "Unable to verify account name or password," despite having the correct password that I used to login to the AOL website. If you are able to login to AOL directly, I have a SOLUTION to this problem! Login to the AOL website. Click on Options in the upper right corner of your AOL window. Click on Account Info Click on Account Security on the left side of the new window. AOL will make you login again. The Account Security window will open. Click on Manage app passwords. An App Passwords window will open. Click the Select Your App drop down menu Click on Mac Mail Click on Generate That will give you a 16 character pass word to copy It will give you instructions for how to paste that pw into your System Settings / Internet Account / for AOL. With this special password you will be able to establish a working AOL account in Mac Mail. KO November 30, 2020
