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?

An issue with spaces in user names is that it allows someone to cheat by copying someone else’s name and then adding a space to the end, making it print out as the other individual, essentially violating the requirement that all user names are unique.
