I don't buy it sorry.  And it may take "10 minutes" for one client but I have multiple, all of whom I now have to monitor if payments post, change all passwords, it's a hassle and has become very expensive in time and money.  Not to mention the loss of clients, trying to explain what happened, etc.  And then I have to respond to the IRS, in some cases request abatement.  That "10 minutes" takes precious time I could spend on something else more productive.

And why if I change the password and can use EFTPS directly do the payments from QDT reject?  Why 12 characters, where does it say that.  I know Intuit has put this on the IRS but I don't buy that either.  When did Intuit state to ProAdvisors with the Enhanced Payroll the password must  A.be changed annually, B.be 12 characters long only.
