How do I Reset AOL Password

When you are not able to log in to your email account, who knows what you might be missing? If you forgot your login information, there are a couple of methods to recover AOL passwords and usernames.

Try Your Browser First

Current versions of most web browsers offer an auto-fill feature. You can see it when you will enter a username and password for the first time on a password-protected site. The browser usually presents a popup window that asks if you want to save the login information.

If you visited the AOL Mail site in recent times, you may have saved your username and password using this utility, in which case the browser fills in the password field automatically. If not, then double-click the Password text box to display matching passwords in a drop-down menu, and then select the suitable password.

Alternatively, check the browser's help site to find out where to go in the browser settings to find out where the password is stored, how to retrieve it, and how to toggle the feature on or off. The procedure is similar across browsers.

If you haven't saved your password in your browser, then you need to use the AOL password reset process.

Ways to Remember Passwords

Forgetting passwords is a common incident — just as common as passwords themselves. Instead of keeping a handwritten list or relying on your memory, store passwords in a password manager. Several safe options are offered, from storing them in a browser to downloading third-party programs (some free, some paid). Double-check any method you use to be sure passwords are stored in an encrypted format therefore that unauthorized parties can't able to decipher them easily.
