Password guidelines
When generating a password, there are a few things to keep in mind. These will assist safeguard both your user and other users from being compromised in the event of an intrusion:
Never use your username, or even a portion of it, as a password.
Use your name, phone number, address, anniversary, birthday, pet’s name, DOB, license plate, and other personal information sparingly.
The better the password, the longer it is. It is suggested that it be at least 8 characters long.
Use a different password each time you log in. Change to something fresh on a regular basis.
To make your password more difficult to guess, mix letters, numbers, and special characters.
To boost security, mix upper and lower case letters.
Don’t use easily guessed words like ‘guest’ or ‘password,’ or any variations of those phrases.
When possible, enable multifactor authentication.
You can also generate a password with the help of an online website. Passwordgenerator is a good example.
Most importantly, never reveal your password to anyone. If you need to give someone access to your account, consider creating a new user for them or giving them panel access via Account Privileges.
Limitations
The maximum length of a password is 31 characters.
You have the option of adding special characters. Single and double quotes are the only characters that aren’t allowed.
Troubleshooting
It’s possible that after resetting a password in your panel, you discover that it doesn’t work or that the old password still works. This is frequently due to two factors:

Your previous password has been cached. If the old password for your user is still cached when you log in, you may need to delete your web browser’s cache. If your new password isn’t working after 30 minutes, try deleting your browser’s cache and trying again:
