Attempting to access router online..password broken

I am attempting to access my online router control system. I am able to enter my username, but when I enter my password for every one letter i enter two more appear. It is impossible to sign in due to this. I am then instantly locked out.

Does anyone have an answer? i have attempted using other browsers and closing and reopening etc.

This is normal. Its a security feature. Every time you press a button, you will see 2 or 3 dots added. Sometimes dots will be removed as well. This is to prevent anyone watching over your shoulder or monitoring your computer from knowing how many characters your password is. As long as you type in the correct password you will be able to logged in.

How do I login to the Verizon router

To logon in to the router
•Open up your browser
•Enter 192.168.1.1 into the address bar.
•Press ENTER. The router's logon screen should appear

If you see a screen asking you to establish your initial user name and password, your router has been reset to factory defaults. You will need to enter a user name and password that you want to use to access the router's GUI in the future. When you've entered the user name and password you want to use, you should be taken to the router's main status page.

Otherwise, enter your user name and password. Unless you have explicitly changed the user name and/or password, the username should be ADMIN and the password should be the router's serial number located on the service tag. The serial number should be entered in upper case. Once you've entered the user name and password, you should be taken to the router's main status page.

If you are still unable to logon in to the router, see the following FAQ:
»Verizon Online FiOS FAQ »I can't login to the VZ router

If you can't login to the router, it may be one of several things:

• When I try to login, multiple dots appear as I type.
This is a security feature and is normal.

•I used to login to the router with "password1" (or similar common password). Now that doesn't work.
In August 2010 Verizon changed the password of any customer routers that had one of several common passwords due to a published hack. The password was changed to the serial number of the router. The serial number is located on the service tag on your router under the bar code. Enter it in all caps as the password field is case sensitive.

• If you still can't login to the router, you will have to do a factory reset of the router.
The reset button is a recessed button on the rear panel of the router. Press it in for about 15 seconds (until all the lights on the router go out, then flash). After the router reboots, open a browser window to »192.168.1.1 You will be prompted to change the password on the initial screen. Any customization you have done to the router will be lost.
