I did know this as the "government" did indeed inform me of this requirement via email warning me of this change before it happened.  Additionally, I followed all of QB's recommendations several times after changing my password with EFTPS and still I am not able to process e-payments.  I am amazed QB did not inform me of this change with  EFTPS when they first began rejecting my E-payments and still do not effectively address this continued problem.  Kudos if this fix worked for you but I remain unimpressed and yes, skeptical.
