Sky's Password entry system is ghastly

Is there anything worse than Sky's password entry system? My new Modem/Wireless Router has a long and complicated password with upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols. There are 25 characters and spaces in my password. With most password entry systems which use a rectangular matrix with a shift key and a separate matrix for symbols, this password would have taken me two minutes to enter. With the linear Sky system this took over 10 minutes. Primitive is what it is. Time to step up to the plate Sky and modernise this horrible feature in System Settings. It has remained unchanged in spite of other complaints for at least the last 20 years.

@R.W+Laidlaw assume you are using a third party router as Sky hub link to other Sky kit by using WPS. In fact if your router supports wps you can use that method just choose the Sky broadband option thst puts Sky Stream pucks, Q boxes etc into WPS mode.

Re: Sky's Password entry system is ghastly

I have rarely found using the WPS button to work. It should but in practice does not seem to. I suppose it depends on the router maker's WPS implementation which in TP-Link seems to be poor.
