Recently (since 3/24/202), my iPhone 6 mail service has not been able to retrieve mail from my AOL account. I get an error message that there is no password for the AOL. I have reset the password on both AOL and iPhone, but it is still not recognized. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

App Password:
You may need to use an app password. If you were already using one, then it may have expired (something that typically happens after installations and updates). Go Here: Create and Manage Third-Party App Passwords - AOL Help

This suggestion worked for me.!I logged to AOL and successfully generated the APP password. Replaced existing password on iPhone and it instantly updated. Thanks so much!
