Use of an App Password:

I used to use AOL. An App Password is indeed what it required for using AOL in the Mail app. Go Here: Create and manage third-party app passwords - AOL

 AOL is now requiring App-Specific passwords to be entered instead of your normal password. This is part of their security measure. So, How does one create an App Specific password to enter for AOL email account(s)? See below:


You'll need to generate and use an "app specific password" to access AOL Mail from these apps.


1. Sign in and go to the AOL Account security page. You can do this by signing on to AOL from a computer.

2. Click Generate app password or Manage app passwords.

3. Select your app from the drop down menu and click Generate.

4. Follow the instructions below the password.

- Be sure to enter the password into your app without any spaces.

5. Click Done.

6. Use this app password and your email address to sign in to your email app.
