Xneelo will only accept strong passwords. To ensure your password is strong, make sure you adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Use both upper and lower case letters as well as digits.
  • Ensure it is at least 11 characters long.
  • Do not use your username, email address or domain names associated with your xneelo account.
  • Do not use your personal information, such as name, phone number, ID number, special dates, address or names of anyone you know.
  • Use different passwords for your various hosting services.
  • Use a word or phrase you can remember easily, but would be very difficult for anyone else to guess.
