Authenticating with AOL
You can access AOL mailboxes using FEC by generating an app-specific password as follows:
- Sign in and go to your Account security page at https://login.aol.com/account/security
- Click Generate app password or Manage app passwords.
- Select "Other App" from the drop-down menu, populate the custom name as "FEC", and click Generate.
- Click Done.
- Use this app password (without spaces) in FEC when authenticating
Modern Authentication
The option to generate an App-specific Password may not be available in some mailboxes. In such scenarios, you would receive an error message along the lines of "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!".
If you run into this limitation, you can have FEC perform modern authentication against AOL by turning on the Use OAuth option. Modern authentication does not require an App-specific Password.
