Cannot Send Mail on iPhone

The user name or password for "AOL" is incorrect. I do not believe it is, but how can I check or change these? I tried the User Name and Password on my desktop and it worked fine.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

If you've activated 2-step verification for your AOL account, you'll need to generate and use an "app password" to access AOL Mail from iOS Mail app

1. Sign in to your AOL Account Security page.

2. Click Generate app password or Generate and manage app passwords.

3. Enter your app's name in the text field.

4. Click Generate password.

5. Follow the instructions below the password.

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

6. Click Done.

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