AOL Mail sync with Windows 10

I've had an e-mail from AOL saying that from 20 October they are no longer supporting third party access such as Windows 10 as they may not be secure and to sign in directly via the web or their app.

I'm disappointed with this action as it means I don't have access on the Windows platform which I find is great and simple to use, so is there any way I can still continue to access my e-mails using Windows 10 after October or will they now be blocked.

Hope you can persuade AOL to change their minds.

    This just started happening to me today... I searched on AOL and found this and it resolved the issue... I use AOL via Outlook:

    Create and manage third-party app passwords - AOL Help

    Hope it helps. Thanks.

    I have been an AOL subscriber for ever, this is just not fair, everyone I have ever known has my  AOL email address.

    I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand what this is all about. What question, what reply?
