Is there a technical reason why blank spaces can’t be used in password since you always have to hit submit afterwards anyway?

Question

Just reading in that long password are better than complex ones. Wouldn’t it be better if our passwords were long memorable quotes like “Now are the times that try men’s souls” instead of something like Be$ty78?

3-4 random words us a better password than what is usually recommended whrn ot comes to passwords you need to remember yourself.

Applications that don’t allow one or more characters is always a security smell to me because best practices behind the scenes allow for your password to contain any character, thus restricting character usage indicates to me that they are not following best practices
