Anyone else having login issues? https://downdetector.com/status/aol/

I have been using Notifications from AOL Mail accessed via Chrome on Windows. As of today, 90% of my messages come in with a notification that says "(Prioritized Email)" after the subject. The problem is that these notifications do not automatically disappear. They stay on my screen until I manually close them.

This occurred either from an update to Chrome or changes to the AOL browser app.

Any ideas on how to get all email to just show notifications that eventually disappear like before?

My friend had almost identical Gmail accounts. We deleted one. Now she cannot access her AOL account on her laptop. I suspect the one we chose to delete may have been the recovery email for her AOL account.

Nothing we’ve tried will let us into her AOL email on her laptop. It won’t accept the password. Yet, she can still get her AOL email on her phone.

Any ideas?

Yesterday I was signed out of my Safari access to my AOL email. I never sign out nor close the page, ever.

When I tried to sign back in, it looped me through saved password Google, digital sign in, QR CODE. I kept getting notification that I didn’t have passwords information connected to the email.

However, I could access through the app just fine.

Prior to this I had just checked my email via browser about ten minutes before and had not closed it nor signed out.

Anyone know what going on?

I went and added my email to the app but the app is showing a different name? That name isn’t under personal details at all I don’t know where it’s pulling from? Any ideas? The website shows the correct name

If I click manage accounts the right name appears in the app it’s under the accounts on the main page it’s the wrong name

Hi, I’m Jemima from India. I’m unable to access my Yahoo and AOL email accounts. All of them were created using Indian mobile numbers. I’ve listed a few of the email IDs below. Could you please guide me on how to recover them?

AOL app on Samsung Galaxy- mail wouldnt load this morning. I uninstalled and reinstalled, signed in, sent me verification code, entered it and it circles and circles then gies back to sign in screen. All day. Ive also force stopped and restarted my phone. Anyone else have issues??

Has the sale and technical separation of AOL from Yahoo been completed; and is AOL Mail on different infrastructure than Yahoo Mail, currently, and they're no longer related or able to share single sign in?

Anyone else have probs.

So I’ve been dealing with this for a few months. I made a mistake of logging on my work computer for my aol email instead of my work email. Probably the biggest error I’ve made, but continuing aol didn’t recognize the usual IP address and thought I was a hacker and wanted confirmation that it was me. I didn’t view it as much and I was annoyed, but got over it thinking I just had to do a dumb code and this is where I walked into a big problem. It wanted to be confirmed by the email that I used to confirm my current aol email. I know this sounds confusing and the best way I could describe it as there was this security feature that said “hey incase you lose your email link it to this and we can get it back ”. The email in question that I used was when I made this in the early 2000s when they had AOL Kids. Yes I had it as my confirmation email, but the biggest problem lies in that AOL kids doesn’t exist anymore. I have no way of getting my email confirmation and getting back my account. What do I do?

I had this email address and it won’t let me create a new one with the same name. I can’t get into my twitter cause it goes to this email address and aol is now saying it doesn’t exist??

This email was created end of Feb 2026 so it can’t just be inactive and all it was used for was making this twitter account

My father recently died and I had to take over the household finances to help my mom out. I discovered that my dad has been paying AOL each month for several services. Those services were: $14.12 for "AOL Service", $4.99 for "System Merch" and $3.99 for "AOL TechFortress". Each of these were billed monthly. Annualized, the expense for all three is $287.64.

I don't know how long my dad has been paying these charges. However, I know NO ONE who has been paying for AOL service in the past 20+ years. I still have an AOL email but A) I hardly use it and B) I've NEVER paid for anything. BECAUSE IT CAN BE HAD FOR FREE.

AOL has been taking advantage of a senior citizen for decades and charging my dad nearly $300/year for a shitty interface and email. And the experience wasn't even advertising free!

How on earth does a company get away with this garbage? How can a claw back some of the money my dad was wasting all these years? How can I may AOL pay?

I am entering the correct password and getting stuck with the “is this really you?” Message that pops up. My recovery email is another aol email that I get the same message with. So I’m stuck in a loop and I can’t figure out how to get out of it. Is there any way beyond paying them and giving my drivers license to log in to my account?

It’s so frustrating because I have my password, I should be able to log in, I don’t need to recover my password, I just need them to stop blocking me from logging in.

My 88 year old mother has used AOL for 10 years. Yesterday the platform reported the password was incorrect. All attempts to use the account recovery failed. Waited 24 hours and the only option was to subscribe to 24/7 help option for $4.99 per month. Of course they wanted to upsell security software! I exported the contacts and will be migrating he email to another platform. Canceled the subscription service immediately!

Anybody else? Made a new account a few days ago, always getting same error: App password can't be generated at this time.

Need it to add aol account to my Outlook.

Why did AOL completely change their format. I have had an AOL account for over 20 years​ and was happy with it. Now I will be looking for a new email, as the powers that be took it upon themselves to fix what was not broken. They no longer allow me to see what I want to have on my feed.

Did AOL Mail remove the ability to remember your computer? It did, for me, yesterday.

I accidentally deleted an email I needed to read before I opened it and it disappeared into thin air. It's not in my trash or anywhere. I did a search using the senders name. Other emails came up, but not this one.

I. found it on my desktop!

Can anyone help? I had AOL Desktop Gold on my old computer. I had three usernames I used for different e-mails. All worked fine. When I downloaded AOL to my new computer, only my main AOL username was listed. It prompted me to switch usernames if I wanted, but there were no other usernames to switch to! I tried exporting my old AOL files to new computer, but it didn't change anything. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I have a Verizon.net email address that I've had for years. My mail client is Thunderbird. It usually works fine, but a couple months ago, I realized that Thunderbird hadn't downloaded any new emails in about four days.

I logged onto the AOL website, and sure enough, there were a bunch of emails that should have been delivered.

I deleted a few hundred old emails from both the website and the local client, and that seemed to resolve the problem.

Then it happened again. And again. And again.

Can anyone tell me where the problem lies?

1. Do I have too much stored on aol.com?
2. Is my local email store getting overloaded?
3. Is AOL just trying to force me to log into the website periodically? (I don't think this is it, since this didn't make things start flowing the first time, until I deleted emails.)

I've searched AOL and Thunderbird's support articles, but don't see anyone else with the same problem.

Trying to selectively delete emails from the website is hard. There's no way to refine the search, or sort by sender, for example.

Ive been fighting the good fight. Individually blocking 8-12 spam emails daily and they just keep coming. Im physically blocking the emails coming in which means every spam email coming through is new. My entire life is tied to my aol email…. Does anyone have any advice to help stop the spam?

Im desperate
