AOL Mail offers a wide range of features to its customers. However, sometimes you encounter errors that hinder your ability to access your account and perform tasks. One such problem can happen if you try to reset your password. An error message tells you that it’s not possible to do this from your browser.

This issue may be caused by a number of factors. Fortunately, there are solutions available for you to use that should resolve this problem easily.

Why I am not able to Reset your Password?

There are many reasons why you are not able to reset your AOL Mail Password and you can choose any of them. You may be experiencing issues with your password reset because:

• You didn’t use the same browser to verify your identity as the one you’re currently using.
• Your cookies and cache files are corrupt.
• You accidentally entered the wrong information during the process.
• You don’t have access to the email address or phone number on file with AOL.
• You attempt to reset your password too many times in a short period of time.
• Your browser won’t support HTML5 technology

Solutions to “Reset Your Password” Issue

The following are some of the possible solutions to the “Reset Your Password” issue:

Solution 1: Check Your Browser Settings

AOL Mail uses HTML5 technology as part of its login process and some browsers block this feature by default. To check whether this is the case for you, go to the Manage My Account page on AOL Mail and click on “Change Account Settings.” You will see an option called “Browser Configuration” under Advanced Settings. Clicking on that link will display all the browsers installed on your computer and allow you to enable HTML5 for each one individually. If all else fails, we recommend using Chrome or Firefox as these two browsers support HTML5 by default even when it’s disabled in other programs on your computer.

Solution 2: Reset Your Password Through Email

If you can’t access AOL Mail via a browser but still have access through email, then you can use the Account Recovery form to reset your password. Simply go to the Account Recovery page on AOL Mail and enter your username or email address into the provided field. You’ll then be prompted to enter your mobile number so that AOL can send you an SMS with a code that you’ll have to enter when prompted during the process. Once you’ve done that, AOL will send an email containing a link where you can reset your password by entering it in the box provided. Once you’ve done this successfully, you’ll be able to access AOL Mail using either your browser or email client of choice once more!

Solution 3: Clear Browser Cookies and Cache

Browser cookies and cache store information about websites we visit daily, which helps our browser retrieve those pages quicker than if we were visiting them for the first time. However, over time browser cookies and cache can become corrupted and interfere with our ability to reset to AOL Mail Password. The easiest way to clear the cookies and cache from your browser is to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac). This will bring up a menu where you can delete cookies, cached images, downloaded files, etc., depending upon which browser you are using.

Tip for Creating A Strong Password

Creating a secure password is an essential part of keeping your data safe. A strong password can protect you from hackers and other cybercriminals who want to gain access to your personal information. Here are tips for creating secure passwords:

• Make it long. Passwords should be at least eight characters long, but longer is always better.
• Use a mix of letters and numbers. A strong password contains both letters and numbers.
• Avoid using common words or phrases. Hackers have access to lists of common passwords that they use in attacks, so don’t use anything that could be found in a dictionary or on the web as your password.
• Create randomness. Your passwords should not be predictable in any way; this includes having no relationship with each other, being random sequences of letters and numbers, or using symbols instead of letters (such as ‘$%^&*). For example, it’s much more difficult for a hacker to guess “M1chae1e” than “Michael”.

Ways to Remember Passwords

Do you have trouble remembering passwords? You’re not alone. It’s estimated that a whopping 80% of us forget our passwords at least once a month. That’s because we’re inundated with more and more passwords as the years go on, making it harder and harder to remember them all—not to mention the fact that they’re supposed to be complex strings of letters, numbers, and symbols that are hard to remember in the first place. So how do you keep from going crazy trying to keep up with all of your passwords? Here are some tips for making sure you remember them all:

1. Use a password manager

2. Choose a “master” password

3. Use strong passwords (and don’t use real words)

4. Switch things up every so often

5. Write down your passwords somewhere safe
