A password for Netgear
My BIGGEST PROBLEM with Netgear is how to create a new password. Here is what I mean. I follow all the recommendations from Netgear on how to create my password but NOTHING(!) works. I have tried ...
Do you get any error messages when trying to setup your password. My password is 13 characters and I have no issues with that. Provide more information about your issue and configuration may help to determine the problem.
My problem with the Netgear.com password is that I can’t pass the new password window.
It shows that my new password is too weak.
Nothing works.
Only when I copy and paste the Netgear temp verification code, I can save my new password and login into my Netgear account.

I can visit "Netgear.com" without supplying a password.

- Yes, I can visit Netgear.com without any issues.
I have purchased RAX35v2 several weeks ago.
I had some installing issues. Stupid me - I purchased also an extender EX7500.
I decided to call for help.
After waiting on hold for about 50 minutes, I was informed that , yes for $89 , we could help you. In short, the technician recommended to create a Netgear account. I received a temp password, the same password I used for the Netgear app on my iPhone.
For some reason, the password on my iPhone’s Netgear app was deleted; therefore, I need to change my password.
And I could not pass the stage of entering new password.
That is what my post is about.
P.S. I am typing on iPhone please forgive my mistakes.

Sorry for misunderstanding.
After I've purchased RAX35v2 along with EX7500, I have created an account with NETGEAR in order to get more information about my products. When the installation woes were gone, I have not used the Netgear account for some time.
Suddenly, I've started experience some "strange issues with my RAX35v2. I've decided to post my question at the Netgear forum/Community discussion club.
I've tried to remember my password, but there was only one choice - to RESET a new one.
No problem.
I've received a temporary verification code via email and started creating my new password.
I've done it HUNDREDS of times for various other accounts.
But NOTHING WORKED. All my COMPLEX passwords were TOO WEAK for Netgear, and I was stuck on that RESET PAGE.
I said to myself, "Create a new account".
And that's what I did.
Once again. My ISSUE is with the Netgear web-site "SMARTNESS" on creation of Passwords.
This comment is not(!) to change anything "at" and/or with NETGEAR.
It's just that simple procedure has CREATED AN EMOTIONAL HURRICANE, and I needed to express my grievances.
N.B. I'm so glad that NOBODY ELSE has gone through that kind of "Tornado in the tea cup" moment.
