AOL Desktop for Mac: Adding Screen names
Posted Sep 7th 2008 2:05PM by Lee Givens
Filed under: Member Education, AOL Desktop for Mac
I have been getting a lot of comments and feedback on this issue: How do I add all of my screen names? Well, it's easy - every time you log in with a different screen name, it will be added to your screen name list. After your screen names are on the list, you can switch any time.
We're looking to automatically add all screen names associated with a single master account. More to come in a future post.
You can get more AOL Desktop for Mac How To articles by visiting AOL Support Portal for Mac.
thanks!

Hello! It doesn't work. I've upgraded to Desktop 1.2 followed this procedure to sign in, added the screen name and the password click on sign in. I get a pop up that says AOL cannot authenticate the name or password. Don't know which. I do not have an incorrect password as I can use it and have all screen names available with AOL for Mac OS X Version 10.3.7 I am able to sign on with my screen name but can not add anymore screen names to the list. Trying to sign on as a guest doesn't work either.
So, Hello! now what do I do? Go into the user library and move things around.... I could just see my parents trying to do that...

PS the link I was suppose to click on to confirm the comment above was not active. I had to cut and paste it into a browser. So if this only shows up once it's because I cut and pasted my comment after I received my password.
