Also unable to create OpenDNS account, here are my stats:

  1. Installed fresh version of Genie 2.4.16 on my Windows 10 machine;
  2. Authenticated Genie against my Router R7500 running newest Firmware V1.0.0.94;
  3. Entered into "Parental Controls" screen, clicked "No, I need to create a freee OpenEND account."
  4. Requested a Username, reponsed with "Available!"
  5. Entered a new password with two numerals, two Capletters, six lowerletters, and one "*"
  6. Still gives me "Invalid password. The password must be between ... etc. ..."

Can you help?

    Just found the 15-letter requirement for passwords, so added three more Capletters.  Was able to create an account.
