    Microsoft wants my AOL account password


    I have AOL accounts that Microsoft keeps popping up that because I am accessing sensitive information that I need to verify my password. See below I erased the beginning portion of the email. When I enter the password it says it isn't correct and reset the password. It is also asking for my access my computer pin which I enter and is fine. I can sign into these accounts on my iphone with the correct password. Not sure how to stop Microsoft from asking for this information and why they are asking for it?

    Outlook trouble in Windows 10 handling AOL email

    Hi Dave,

    • Are you referring to Windows 10 Mail App?
    • If yes, then is that an additional account?

    If your AOL is an additional account in Windows 10 Mail App, then I suggest you to remove the account and reconfigure it and check the behavior. And if your AOL is primary a account, please get back to us for further assistance.

    I suggest you to try the steps provided in the link below and check.

    Thank you

    Thank you for the advice

    I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

    Microsoft wants my AOL account password

    AOL Gold Problem - Delayed Sign On

    Sorry, by mistake I deleted my last post saying I would get back tomorrow. Also, sorry about the confusion of my post on V2 and signing onto AOL.. I am now able to access AOL in Clean Boot mode using the AOL icon from my desktop.



    Here is V2 (I hope) in Clean Boot mode.

    DESKTOP-I57DH7V-(2020-06-03_05-59-36).zip

    I will monitor AOL in Clean Boot mode and get back.

    I performed the steps as previously noted.

    Here are the results.

    1. There was still a delay in AOL responding.
    2. I did the Clean Boot process a number of times, mainly because I was not sure about the Clean Boot last step to restart the computer. So, I did Clean Boot both ways – Restart and Not Restart.

    Now here is the big one.

    During my last Clean Boot, I tried to log onto my AOL account. And, for some reason, my screen froze. I could not log on. Therefore, I could not supply screenshots of my Clean Boot process or respond to you in the Clean Boot mode. I hesitate to try the Clean Boot process again.

    After I get your response, I have some follow-up questions.

    Jerry

    - - - Updated - - -

    I am going to try again with a Clean Boot for this reason. I may have taken an unnecessary step.
    Brink’s instructions were for me to sign in as an Administrator. So, I created another Administrator only account and did all my tests within that account. I did not realize my Microsoft account had me listed as an Administrator. I’m sure that contributed to my confusing email I previously sent.
    I will get back after doing a Clean Boot within my Microsoft account with what I find. However, I am still confused about Brink’s Clean Boot instructions. The last step says to Restart the computer. Another post said to choose “Exit without restart.”
