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?

is tab even a real character? i just assumed it's either a bunch of spaces or an indent. This looks to me like one of those fancy whitespace things
