Adding a special character to my password worked, so I was able to create a OpenDNS account with a password that contained a special character, capital letter, a number and is between 6-20 characters. I would like to note that nowhere on the instructions did it say that all of this was needed, just a password between 6-20 characters.
buckeyestargaze Thank you for the update! Will pass that along to our engineers and add it in the instructions.

Once I added a special character and a capital it worked without a problem.
That is weird as I don't have an capitalisation in my or special character in my password -- only difference I used my existing OpenDNS account.

When changing the OpenDNS password (I had six numbers as my old password), I was able to change it to an acceptable one with upper / lower case letters, a number and a symbol.
It does not work on my Genie Android app, nor does the application install on my Windows 10 machine properly (error when trying to open it).
