AOL app password generator not working again

When is AOL going to fix this? It was brought in for "security" and if making your device unusable it achieved that.



I like to use AOL in Outlook and it is terrible that users have this problem. I complained to AOL almost a year ago and it is shocking users are still having this problem

Windows, Windows 10

Hurry, hurry, hurry, JUST THIS MORNING, "AOL's App Password Generator" is working again! I don't know for how long they'll keep it going this time. I was finally able to successfully generate an app password this morning after trying for 4 days - every day - many times per day while their site's functionality was inoperable and a complete waste of time. My new iPhone is now getting AOL / Verizon Emails. There is peace and tranquility in the world again 😁. (...for now)

Not sure why you're posting AOL issue in an Apple platform. Should go to aol forums and see if others have the same issue and what the fix is.

Thank you for posting about the AOL issue reoccurring again. Please keep posting any progress you make here as I will do so as well, so that those new to iOS will come to understand thru our posting that the problem is an “AOL Issue” and not an iOS issue. I disagree with the unhelpful comment left above that you should post elsewhere, as this was certainly helpful for me to find your post. Also, I did speak with an AOL representative this morning about the same issue, who was completely useless and only interested in getting free account users to move to a “Paid” AOL account.

Because Apple has nothing to do with AOL. Hence I said post the question on their forums.
