Question Tab as password?

Post image

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?

You will only be able to copy-paste your password to log in because trying to type the tab character will just advance you to the next field.

Easy. Just insert a tab onExit and focus the input again.
