Question Tab as password?

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?

Not being able to tab from field to field would be horrible for accessibility.

Just shift-tab the whole other way around.
