Can't connect to AOL account

I have now lost access to a second AOL account in Mail. Mail says it is unable to verify account name or password. The account name and password are correct because I can still access the AOL accounts on my iPhone and an iPad. I have tried deleting it and adding it back in and I still get the same error message.

iMac, macOS 10.12

I have 5 AOL Email accounts for the family. Recently all accounts keep asking me to enter the password, and then fail. Help Is anyone else experiencing problems sending/receiving mail using AOL? I have 5 AOL accounts and recently they have stopped working on my 2 MACS/ipad pro/2 iphones. I can send/receive mail if I go to the internet and log onto my AOL account directly. All 5 accounts passwords are verified, but when I try to log on to mail, I receive a msg that my password is incorrect.

My iPad will not allow me to use my AOL account. Two days ago,my iPad stopped updating my AOL account. The message says the username or password is wrong. They're not. I deleted my AOL account, turned my iPad off, then reinstalled my AOL account. Still the same message. What's wrong?
