Increased Password Complexity for EFTPS

News from the Internal Revenue Service 

As an additional security measure, EFTPS online will increase the complexity of passwords beginning February 7, 2008.

We recommend that you change your passwords based on the following guidance at your earliest convenience:

Passwords must be 8 to 12 characters long, composed of the following character types:

• Uppercase Alpha (A, B, C, etc.),
• Lowercase Alpha (a, b, c, etc.),
• Numeric (1, 2, 3, etc.) or the following Special Characters (!, @, #, $,*, +,-).

Each password must contain UPPERCASE AND LOWERCASE ALPHA CHARACTERS, and at least one character that is either a Numeric or a Special Character.
