*Important* The time between password requests are absolutely controlled by AOL, and I don't have any way to extend it. It is usually 14 days long.
AOL Reader is a nicely designed and easy-to-use RSS aggregator. This extension is an unofficial application that periodically checks the users unread items, and shows this number in the extension icon area.
AOL is using AOL OAuth to identify the user, and the extension only stores a token on the client side that allows it to access the Reader. This token can only be used for accessing Reader though, and no other AOL services. For security reasons the user is required to re-log every time when the token expires (about once in a fortnight)
