Hi. If there's something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we'll ask you to go through another verification step after you've entered the correct password. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get a verification code on your AOL app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons:
AOL notices suspicious account activity.
You're using an unfamiliar browser or device.
You're traveling away from your usual location.
You sign in while using a VPN or a proxy server.
You've logged in with a private or incognito window.
There are many attempts to sign in with incorrect passwords.
The "First time signing in from this device" message appears.
You've cleared your browser history or data cache including cookies.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you! If you need additional help, please contact us on Twitter at @AOLSupportHelp or on Facebook at our AOL Customer Care page. If you do not have a social media account, we are available at help.aol.com.
Thank you,
AOL team

I have been with AOL for 100 years(a very long times). I am using an iMac version 10.13.6. It has a 27inch screen which we like. When you moved to 2FA I now must put in my pass word and now I must contact you on my Iphone so you can send me a code to put in in order to get to the start screen. After contacting your csr she said that the system on her end shows 2FA as turned off but when I log on and start to the aol main screen it wants to verify me by asking me for a code via e-mail,text,phone etc. Aol should give me the option as I don't need 2FA as my desktop is in my home office.....Can you help to turn this off? Thank you very much!

Remove the verification system, if you are stuck on it, once every two years would be good. And I would live to sign in, but your psycho systems blocked me

It's not an idea I want to know why when I try signing into aol it either doesn't open or takes forever. Been happening since you stopped the dial up which I have not had in eons. If it requires deleting the account then getting back on where on these new setting is that at?

I have had the same AOL address for 26 years. You are verifying that email, through my less than 3 year old Gmail account. DUH!!!!!!!!!!

NOT enabled, BUT forced to use it on AOL + YAHOO accounts - totally user unfriendly, inconvenient, frustrating, + not wanted or NEED - totally unnecessary for most users with safe passwords - you are forcing long time users to go to other more user friendly + consumer orientated providers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
