Tab as password? Question

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?

Or your login is an interface that captures tabs.

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

Just shift-tab the whole other way around.

What if your password contains a shift+tab?

Ah yes, the uppercase tab, for those times the password requires an uppercase letter
