The *change* seems to run on a cycle, and it seems to be at least three months.  So manually change your password JUST before you get busy with filing season and you shouldn't have to change it during filing season.  Altho since it only takes seconds to change it, I haven't bothered to try my proposal as I don't find the process that onerous.

The fact that you have to enter the password multiple times when going thru the opening then updating of the program, and when opening multiple years is a bit obnoxious ( we were promised that wouldn't be the case).
