It appears that you were trying to access the download before the 1099 was even available. I just got email from WF yesterday, so I did not try previously. And given the difficulty in entering the password, I'm not sure why anyone would want to.
And I agree that this is a poor technical decision on TurboTax's part to both not allow pasting into the password field AND not allowing you to unmask it to make sure you typed the password properly. Either one is bad (and wrong), together they are inexcusable. How did the usability people (assuming TT has such a group) allow it, or do the security people overrule them for what is a completely bogus security concern? And I'd say to complain to TT, but they didn't change it after the uproar last year, so I don't see them changing it now. I wonder what security "best practice" they are basing this poor decision on.
BTW, I have a program I downloaded last year which will (hopefully) allow me to paste the password. Have not tried it again this year. Update: tried the program and it worked agai.
