Not Getting AOL Password Reset Email
Why you are not getting a verification email from AOL, if you never received an email from AOL, there are a few places the email may have landed: Spam, junk, and bulk mail folders. Sometimes the emails are blocked or filtered as spam by certain email providers or internet service providers (ISPs), so look at your spam, junk, or bulk folders.
Why You cannot Reset Your AOL Password
To reset your password, you’ll need access to the phone number or email associated with your AOL account. This verification information helps ensure your account is only accessible to you. If you can’t access your phone or email, you won’t be able to recover your password and may need to sign up for a new account.
You can contact AOL by signing in to your account online or through the AOL app. Create your message and then send it to the Support email. Someone in support services should respond directly to your message. Keep in mind that they may direct you to fill out a form through their help center.
