My Verizon.net e-mail is now handled through AOL. AOL is adding security and I now need to add "a unique app password". In the old days, I could use Tools to access and reset my password. Now, using the on-line help screens, it says go to "Tools, Options, and find stored passwords" but of my four e-mail accounts accessed through TB, passwords for only one show up, and it is not the Verizon p/w. I am at risk of losing access to my Verizon.net emails through TB unless I can add this "unique app password."

BTW, I could also delete the account and re-create it because the "new" e-mail will automatically give AOL/Verizon what it needs but that means I will lose all my SENT emails which I am loathe to do.

Any ideas? Many thanks to the community.

What are your incoming and outgoing servers? If they are imap.aol.com and smtp.aol.com, you only need to change the authentication method to OAuth2, accept cookies in TB Options/Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window when prompted.
