- aidenn0 3y agoAnd are often disallowed by services (more often than special characters are in my experience).
- xp84 3y agoAin't that the truth. I once was locked out of my work systems for a day or two while IT investigated, turns out a trailing space at the end was...not disallowed explicitly, but would result in a broken account everywhere but your laptop.
- aidenn0 3y agoI had one weird login where the limitations were done on the input field (but not enforced on the backend), so if I typed my password in, it didn't work, but if it autofilled with a password manager, it did work.
- zamnos 3y agoI had the opposite happen to me. The password length was enforced on the frontend by JavaScript, which the password manager bypassed. The backend recieved the whole string though, so I could only log in by pasting in the password, which got truncated by the client side JavaScript. Drove me nuts until I figured it out.
- hackan 3y agonever really meet one, at least not in the recent years...
- zhte415 3y agoWhy not backspaces, too?
- Zecc 3y agoA space can be typed quite easily, while a backspace cannot. That said, even systems which do not accept spaces will accept them as long as they are immediately followed by an equal amount of backspaces. /s
