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

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?

Spaces can be hell to troubleshoot – like if a user puts 2 spaces in between words, it can be hard to see and understand why your login is failing.

Some programming languages naturally break text after a space unless you encase it in quotes, so requiring no spaces can be a decision to make managing passwords easier.

Famous quotes would be a bad idea, because they are easy to guess.
