cannot connect using SSL ..do you want to try setting up without using SSL? Verizon password denied problem.

To add Verizon to all my account (outlook PC, ipad, iphone), I had to use AOL's password generator. These steps do not change your standard log in for AOL/Verizon, it seems to be for a one time security issue. Note: in the past when setting up Verizon on my iphone, I just used my AOL/Verizon mail login password, but it was no longer working. Kept getting User Name and Password errors, or SSL errors. The process is as as follows:

1. Log onto your AOL email account
2. Access your Account by clicking on your name in upper right hand corner
3. Click on Account Security
4. Click on Manage Apps and Password
5. Select the device you're working on
6. Generate third party app Password (WRITE IT DOWN so you can reference anytime as you'll not get to view it again once you close the app - I took a screen shot), but for the case of using it this time, copy it

Open your Mail account on your iphone (iPad)

1. Settings/Passwords&Accounts/ - Click on the Mail account you're trying to fix (in my case, Verizon Mail) - I had big trouble adding Verizon as I had deleted the account to try to fix the problem but was finally able to add it through trial and error, though they said I might not be able to get email, I just needed that Verizon Account to click on.
2. In the Password field, copy the AOL password
3. It will verify and you're all set to go

I write this as NO ONE, not Verizon, not Apple, not any Google search knew that this was required/had a solution. So frustrating! I learned it from Microsoft Tech Support as the same issue happened with my Outlook and I figured if it worked on that, maybe it would work on my iOS products. I hope that this helps others.
