3. Enter your AOL Username or email address in the Username or Email field.

4. In the second field, enter the words or characters you see displayed in the image and then click Next.

5. Next, they need to verify that this account belongs to you. Under Verify this is your account, select a confirmation option.  select an option below:

Alternate Email Address

If you choose to verify your alternate email address, click Next. An email will be sent to this alternate email account. Click the Yes, I would like to reset my password link in the email to reset your password. The link will expire in 72 hours.

If you choose to answer your Account Security Question, enter the answer to the question in the text box and select either one of the options for your second set of verification details.

You'll have any two of the following three options on your screen:

  • if you click Account Holder, then enter your first name and second name in the boxes provided, OR
  • if you select Personal Details, then enter your date of birth and your zip code in the boxes provided, OR
  • if you select Alternate Email, then enter your alternate email address in the provided box
