AOL seems to have defaulted some users to two-factor authentication (as of 2026 and perhaps earlier than this year) even if it is not set up on the user's account page. (I checked mine.) If AOL is doing this for Outlook and/or other mailbox users, it should announce this as a policy change. It should also let users have a setting to REALLY opt out of two-factor authentication. Users should be able to set their security preferences. AOL should not presume to do it for them.
