EFAST2 Password

[Andy the Actuary]

EFAST2 passwords expire every 30 days.

This makes perfect sense because you certainly wouldn't want anyone getting into the website and stealing your life savings or using your credit card. Oh, wait, this is not a personal financial return. Never mind.

"You will be prompted to create a password. The password must be a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, and must be re-set after 30 days." [note, you cannot reset to the same password] S.O.A.B

I would suggest MMMYYYY. E.g, OCT2010 (all caps). This seems like a good but no-good solution. First, it's not long enough. Second, you may not remember your most recent password if you log into the website sporadically. The user is almost relegated to writing the $%#@ thing down unless someone has come up with a memory algorithm they'd like to share.
