Can Not Successfull Add AOL Email Account Using "Account Actions"

I am using Aol mail for my verizon email account. On Wednesday 1/19/22 I no longer could access my emails with Thunderbird. I removed my account and then added it back but I now get "unable to login at the server" message. I know my password is correct because I am able to login to Aol using the web interface. Thunderbird is able to find other settings such as

For Incoming server: Protocol: POP3 Hostname: Left blank for confidentiality) Port: 995 Connection security: SSL/TSL Authentication method: Normal Password Username: My first and last name

For Outgoing server Hostname: SMTP.verizon.net Port: 465 Connection security: SSL/TSL Authentication method: Normal Password Username: My first and last name

Was there a change in the latest release of Thunderbird 95.1.0 on 1/13/21 that could be causing this problem? Any other thoughts on what could be causing the issue?
