Bark is able to monitor emails sent and received (including attachments) on connected email accounts like AOL. We will alert on instances of bullying, sexual content, violence, weapons, and more. We can even alert you to new and risky apps that your child has signed up for with this email.

Due to AOL's security policies, you will need to follow the steps below to monitor an AOL account.

Get Started

STEP 1: Log in to your child's AOL email account.

 

STEP 2: Select Options on the top right, and in the menu that appears, select Account Info.

 STEP 3: Select Account Security on the left-hand column.

STEP 4: Select Generate app password or Generate and manage app passwords at the bottom of the page:

STEP 5: On the screen that pops up, input Bark as the name and click Generate Password:

STEP 7: Copy the password on the next pop up.
