Question Tab as password?

Post image

SAS disallows spaces in your password. My password manager suggested an invalid (but secure) password.

So now that I have to make my own password: Out of spite, hypothetically, what implications could having tabs in my password have?

What password manager doesn't allow you to keep generating a new secure password until you get one that's acceptable? Why is this posted in this subreddit?

This post is bad and you should feel bad.

It’s not bad, it’s opened up an interesting conversation around how browsers would handle the keypress and ways of managing passwords.
