Why won't my passwords work? I get an error message "for security reasons, your answer should be between 6 and 16 characters long, not including any spaces"

I am trying to set up a password on the account.  I have tried 20 different passwords.  What could the problem be?

Yes, you get this message if the password you select doesn't meet the password rules. 

 

The password rules for TurboTax are:

 

  • At least 8 characters
  • At least one upper case and one lower case letter
  • At least one number
  • At least one special character
  • No spaces
  • Can't be the same as a previous password for this account
