I’ve had access to my AOL Mail account for over 12 yrs. but today my email will not download to my iPad 5th generation. It keeps asking for my AOL Mail password but it is already there.

I cannot access my AOL Mail as of today on my 5 th generation iPad. I have had access on my iPads for over 12 years including this one for the last 4. Why am I being asked for my email passcode to be input on the Settings when it is already there? I did put it in again to be sure but no change in the email. My iPad has the latest updates so why suddenly can’t it find the server and download my emails?

iPad 2, iOS 9

Because an app specific password is required by AOL. Contact AOL or look at their support site for more info.
