Is anyone else having problems getting AOL email on your iPhone?

I am unable to get email from one of my accounts with AOL. I keep getting a message....Cannot Get Mail....go to mail account settings and enter password. The password is already in there...I even changed it...still not working. My next step is to call Apple.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

No your next step is to contact AOL or look at their support site. AOL updated their security settings requiring an app specific password . This is not an Apple or iphone issue.
