Cannot retrieve email on my phone

when I try to retrieve mail on my phone I get an account error message ... no password provided for aol. There was no reason for this to begin as I did not change or delete my aol password. After several frustrating days of dealing with this, I finally changed my aol password, and tried to enter it and it still does not work. However it does work on my desk top.


iPhone XS Max, iOS 14
