How can we improve AOL Mail?

← AOL Mail

I wanted to generate a third party app password but "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!"

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to wait until the feature becomes available? How long do I have to wait?

    Answer by Admin:

    Please ensure that you try creating an app password without using an Incognito browser and use a browser where you have signed into that account in the past, for at least a couple of days. If this is not successful, there may not be a workaround; as we don't know if or when this feature will be available, we encourage you to use Webmail or the AOL Mail app to access your email.

    1) Why is my question closed to my comment?
    2) I use Edge on a computer I already used to generate passwords.

    Now what?

    Come on AOL please fix this feature. You require it, so keep it working. Many users access your servers through third party apps such as outlook. I spend hours trying to guess when the function is going to generate a password. Come on turn the feature on or stop requiring it.

    Hello; My name is Wesley and I have been using AOL since the the little yellow running man, or 1993 for those who don't remember that or were'nt old enough. I have had to install all my apps onto a new pc including Microsoft Office. When I get to setting up "Outlook" I hit a wall because of the encrypted password AOL needs now. Your online app to generate these passwords isn't working and hasn't been for over a month. So I can't set up all my AOL accounts to download to my Outlook desktop. This includes the following email addresses... ***... So you can see why it's unproductive for me to have to sign on to each one of these accounts seperately and check them several times a day. I don't want to switch to Outlook.com or gmail.com, but at this rate I my have to. What should I do here?

    Your temporary password generator is still broken. I have tried AOL tech support without success. This is a follow-up on my post 2 days ago. So far, I have not received any human response to this problem... Is there anyone there??? Please respond.

    Waiting 11 days now to reinstall operation of Microsoft Outlook. cannot connect to AOL Mail due to inability to obtain an app Password. When will the app be available?

  • GARY SCHOLZE commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally Bogus 3rd party app password is disabled by AOL. Outlook will not work anymore and all other 3rd party apps for email. I called customer support and all they say is that it is not in service and they don't know when it will be enabled angain. It's all because AOL cannot run adds on 3rd party software...

    Your temporary password generator accessed through the link below is broken. I've been told that it has been broken for a couple of months.

    I need this to work in order to link AOL email to MS Outlook.

    I have spent several hours with various tech supports to find a work around, but have been unsuccessful.

    I've been trying for over a month to Generate an App Password so I can once again access the thousands of e-mails I have in my Mac Mail but I keep getting "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!" How can this be possible. Fix this feature so I can access my mail please!!!!!!!!

    I am unable to generate App passwords. I receive the error message "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!"

  • LARRY GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every 2-3 months, generating app passwords fails. Why does AOL feel its important to generate temporary passwords for the app but not my login? Why was this implemented if you can't keep it working? I never have this issue with gmail!

    App Passwords DO NOT WORK, since at least early 2022, what on earth how can you not fix this simple thing.

  • jhughes88 commented  ·   ·  Report

    app password feature not working, when we try it returns message:
    "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!"

  • Edward Scheuring commented  ·   ·  Report

    Get your outlook password working...How hard can it be? Or, go back to the old way. Very upset )was) a customer!

  • Raymond Hull commented  ·   ·  Report

    Impossible to sync AOL Mail to Win 11 Mail. Your "password generator" keeps saying the function isn't available. WHEN will it become available?

  • JONATHAN LICENCE commented  ·   ·  Report

    fix the password generator or turn off its requirement! the previous posts have a quick apology and then the comments turned off. they score high on your own voting system and nothing is being done. ive personally been a customer for nearly 20 years and im sure there is those who have been longer! you cant allow people to build such a dependency on something over that amount of time and just stick two finger up to them! Add a setting to turn off the requirement, even an extra tick box so we acknowledge the security edit we cant use, but stop this complete abandonments of users!!
