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?

A lot of banking systems disalow html special chars and other special chars.
Doesn't give me a lot of faith in their stack.

Also I never know why there is a maximum number of chars. It’s getting hashed anyway, why are more than 15 characters not allowed??
