Agree to some extent. AOL has required me to be verified by a code sent to another email. This seems more AOL's way to learn of any other email I have which is pretty "sneaky" in a way. But that also requires additional time to go to another email, wait for the AOL email w/the verification code to arrive. Then to go back to AOL login page to enter the verification code. Additionally, unless a person has more than one device or has dual monitors, it requires a lot of unnecessary back & forth changing tabs & screens. Many AOL users, which AOL well knows, are in the senior season of life, having started with AOL years ago, & who have remained with & loyal to AOL. And their entire email history & files are in AOL. And though there are tech ways to import/transfer data, etc., why put them--, who are not as tech literate & savvy as younger people who mostly use gmail & other email providers, or who grew up w/tech,-- through all of that trouble. Also, please consider the actual exipense of keeping up w/hardware or purchasing additional devices, but AOL any real assistance, unless the AOL email user pays various additional AOL monthly fees. The FAQs are not very helpful & neither are any AI agent or other chat features. AOL can & ought to do better. Real customer service, w/o having to go through all the unnecessary hoops and tech channels would yield more profit to AOL. The boardroom would be surprised the increase in $$$ and the profit bottom line.
