As you might have noticed we changed the login process in AOL Mail, to a more secure 2 step login, which helps prevent your AOL account from being compromised or hacked.

    It is ridiculous and maddening to have to go through 3 screens to sign in. And then when you want to change screen names you have to do it all over again. Bring back the old way.

    BRING BACK THE OLD SIGN SCREEN

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your implementation of Gold, as well as recent changes has been an incredible disaster.  It has to be intentional; no experienced employer would do that much damage.  You probably have someone or more new people in dangerous positions who feel compelled to put their mark on how things work.  In so doing, they have created espionage.

    It takes several attempts to sign on.  Your sign on screen changes daily.  

    Your format for reading emails has subtle failures, generating a need to try to sign on again.

    I have been using AOL for over twenty years.  I'm seriously considering an escape if you don't clean up the mess.

    Go back to AOL 9.6 Why do I have to go 3 windows to log in. Too cumbersome and time consuming

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Logging in in Gold is a PITA - 3 screens to load to login compared to 1 in the old version - 1.Select account name, 2. Confirm account name, 3. enter password.

    You were moving in the right direction, then decided to go back to a second screen confirming the first screen before you enter your password. Come on now, maybe the developers who are writing code should use AOL exclusively. This new format is plagued with problems user unfriendly additions and slower access to many simple features! Congratulations AOL developers you screed up even more with you latest release! I can wait to see what else you tried to fix!!!

    Take us back to the old log in screen. The old everything is better than gold! I can log on to my welcome screen but can't sign on.It remains blank forever! My son is special needs with medicals issues and I correspond with his specialists at OSU Medical Center via email. It's frustrating when I can't log on to my own server which I'm paying! Beam me up Scotty I can't take anymore of this!!

    Not an Idea! What happened! I hate having to sign in now each time plus I have to click on my username each time!!!

    Bring back the single window logon with userid and password in 1 window.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Since AOL Gold has been on, you have changed your sign on procedure twice, will you ever get this thing right? There was nothing wrong with my old 9.7.2 but no, you had to change everything around. It's bad enough that one has to go through 15 - 17 pages to find the story headline. That really is bad.

  • EDWARD STEIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Fix the sign on screen back to what it was in 9.8. in the new launch of gold you can pick your user name, enter you password and you were on line. Now I have to click through two screens to just get to the password screen. Who thought of this? One screen with a password spot...keep it simple

    Remove the web mail password save check box entirely ...

  • Christine commented  ·   ·  Report

    #1 Sign in screen. Every time it seems the steps to sign on get longer and longer. Why should I have to go through 3-4 steps to use my password to sign in. #2 Using mail. I put my cursor in the slot to put an address in and it bounces down to the writing area instead. #3 The printer icon is gone. Bring it back. #4 I pay for this god forsaken experience and I am not enjoying this. Please bring the 9.8 features back.

    Stop encouraging us to save our password. We are not stupid.

    Don't like having to go to full screen every time to view email as this is not needed for every email. Also, have had some emails with 3 vertical rows of pictures and the only way to view them is full screen. Unfortunately, the third row does not expand to be viewed. I agree with what others have said.

    too many steps to sign in.
    sign in and password box should be on same page.
    used to be able to go to window and see and chose what aol windows were active-not available now.
    cannot minimize toolbar-takes up too much room at top.
    says right click icon to remove icon-doesn't work.
    when switching accounts used to see how many emails were in other acts-does not show up anymore-have to switch and sign in to check if new mail.
    can not resize pictures in email using mail.aol.com.

    Allow me to log in on the first attempt. Also, allow me to read AOL Gold news.
