My iPad will not retrieve email because (it says) the account doesn’t have a password. I’ve changed the password and entered it in Settings. It still tells me there is no password.

iPad, iPadOS 14

The issue is AOL not letting their users know that an app specific password is now required to use their account.


Contact AOL or look at their support site for further instructions.
