AOL.com Alert Tests fail with 5008010001 error
Just upgraded to firmware 6.10.6 and attempted an alert test using my AOL.com email address. Received the "Cannot send a test mesage. Check authentification settings. Code 5008010001"
I realized that I have not been receiving alerts for a while - probably since Verizon tightened AOL security a while back. Is there any fix, workaround or way to send a message via my SMS provider?
Got notifications to AOL working again. Had to go into AOL security and generate a 3rd-party app password. Instructions here:
