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?

I’ve been using spaces in mine for years. Most people don’t so maybe slightly more secure. What’s aggravating is devs not allowing for them or only allowing a tiny subset of punctuation. I’m a dev myself so I get it but half of all sign up forms I’ve ever used are atrocious and annoying re: password constraints.
