Your AOL Account Password, if it needs to be changed, can only be changed/updated from your account page at the AOL website.


When you have updated your AOL password, you can update the account credentials with which you access your AOL email on your iPad; the password must be updated in two locations:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your AOL account] > Account >

  • [Incoming Mail Server] Password - update as necessary
  • SMTP > [Primary Server] > Password - update as necessary



Be aware that some email providers now require the use of App Specific Passwords when accessing mail over IMAP or POP3. If this applies to your email account, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. As examples - AOL, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft all use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.


If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page.

Greetings dpkng60,


When you say that you want to change your AOL password, do you mean your Apple ID password? If so, check out:


"Change your Apple ID password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch

  1. Tap Settings > your name > Password & Security.
  2. Tap Change Password
  3. Enter your current password or device passcode, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Forgot your password?
  4. Tap Change or Change Password." Change your Apple ID password
