Allow Users Responsibility For Their Account Passwords
I am sick of your system not allowing users to set my password to what they want by giving notices saying "Your new password is too similar to your previous password" or other such messages. I understand that you do this for security, but as the account owner I want to set my password to what I want and so long as I have not been hacked my password is still safe no matter what it is even if it was the exact same as the previous password. STOP MAKING THINGS MORE DIFFICULT FOR USERS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE *****. The user is responsible for their own account so even if they wanted to use a password like 1234567 your system should do nothing more than suggest a tougher password NOT require a different password.

STOP requiring me to change my password EVERY DAY and give an additional email (I DO NOT HAVE ONE)

My emails don't all appear in my in box. After senders tell me I should have received their mail I have to do a search and then it appears, but this is a terrible way to operate.

I do not have and DO NOT WANT TO HAVE another email address or a mobile phone. Stop REQUIRING me to have one and tell you how to access it. That's none of your stinking business.

As I posted on another thread, it seems many of our problems began on April 6 or 7, 2020. I would like to get some clear and truthful answers from AOL about why our Verizon.net email accounts are no longer working, especially if we use 3rd-party mail clients like Thunderbird. And why my passwords no longer work. I do not want to use a gobbledygook generated password. Maybe it's time for some consumer organization to look into this situation, because we are not getting answers from AOL.

my password cannot be updated by this system and the phone number on the old account is not available so changing the password is impossible

Stop sending emails through to my Outlook on multiple occasions, whether daily or ever. Send it once and once only. It is very irritating to get the same thing over and over and over. FIX IT.

My idea is for you to make the server reliable. I am asking you for ideas. In the meantime it would be helpful if you would notify the users of the AOL system that service is not available. How is that for an idea.
Speaking of terms of service--where is my service?

Don't make me change my password just because you may have been hacked! Why would I care if someone can access my account? I don't keep anything sensitive on AOL. Let me keep my old password if I want to!!!

I NEED TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD HOW TO DO IT?

Why bother
commented
AOL -You either agree to take over Verizon accounts or pass them along to a competent company. Getting very tired of the rejected emails due to SERVER problems. FIX IT or get out of the business! Oh, and the "it will cost you $8.99 per month for help" is merely blackmail in my opinion. (no pun intended).

I cannot get into my email account, can use it to go into facebook, but am challenged by captura all the time, I have it dial my house phone, enter 6 digits, it keeps repeating this frustation, why can't AOL finally fix a problem? I am not hacked, my wife uses Verizon, uses my email name and my password, and Verison lets her into my account while I am watching, what is the world is going on inside aol???

Last two days, after I sign out of my email account and even after I have cleared my browser's history cache... my emails are still left open! One thing I noticed that is different is that it displays my email address already typed in right after I click "sign out". That has not been the case ever before. I can't sign out from my account. What's going on? I have not tried shutting down my entire computer and rebooting it, will try that next but this appears to be an AOL thing.

I cannot reset my password @ *****@AOL.com. It seems that my ex-husband was able to do this for some reason or another. The old cell phone # was(***)***-**** my new cellphone # is (***)***-****. My name is **** ****** ****** *****. I called your customer no service # yesterday which was a totally unsatisfactory experience. I cannot reset on the aol help site either. So what can you do for me

I know since it was happened long time ago that AOL and Yahoo are parts of Verizon. Some time ago my Yahoo email address was changed (or updated to) from "@yahoo.co.in" to "@yahoo.com". I liked it very much. Why cannot "@aol.in" become "@aol.com" for all regions of the world, not for the United States only just in the manner of Yahoo? I will be very pleased to see my email address having suffix "@aol.com" instead of "@aol.in".
