Verizon/aol email stopped receiving or sending and won't reload on Thunderbird

One of my Verizon/aol email accounts stopped receiving or sending mail on Thursday. I've removed the account from Thunderbird and am trying to reload it. It hangs up on password verification. I am able to use the password to access the account through webmail. I've been able to remove and re-add a different Verizon/aol email account with no problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you! That fixed it.

Prior to posting this I searched all over the AOL website and couldn't find any information like this.

By the way, Thunderbird wasn't listed on their drop down mail app list. I was having the same issue on my android phone and the password generated for that app worked for Thunderbird too.
