I knew a guy who used the Unicode character for a space in his password. He figured if anyone ever saw his password they'd think it was a space and still not be able to use it. It's silly, but it was a fun thing to learn about him.

Which character. Does it need Combination of keys or a Single key.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

A combination of keys. I don't remember the code anymore.

Alt-255 was the old-school method.

[-] Cow_says_moo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I use alt 0160 for a non-line breaking space.

I can't type alt codes with my keyboard.

That's pretty neat, but also means he will never be able to log into things on mobile

Bitwarden has no problem filling passwords containing unicode characters on Andorid.
