Unable to login after Verizon to AOL switch.

[bsos]

So, Verizon no longer offers email service and have now switched its customers to AOL who now manage that. However, after this I am no longer able to log into Thunderbird. I have removed my old password and created a new one, but receive this error:

Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: invalid username/password, USER:

I checked my password in the password manager and I am putting it in correctly, it was changed without issue but I am still unable to log in.

When did you migrate, and did you get the confirmation email from AOL?

You will receive a confirmation email from AOL Mail after registering your verizon.net email account.

Verizon move to AOL FAQ

Can you log into your web mail account on AOL?

Problem solved, passwords in password manager cannot be used to log in for some reason but web email password can log in.

Regardless, thank you for responding.

passwords in password manager cannot be used to log in for some reason but web email password can log in.

Not sure what that statement means. Can you now access that account through Thunderbird using the same password as when logging onto the server through a browser?

It SHOULD be the same PW. Yours is not? However, Vz's instruction to change your PW wasn't necessary.
