Honestly, white space is a character, and adds extra entropy to passwords. I do not understand why people do not want to promote using white space in passwords/passphrases. If I’m missing something intrinsically bad about white space in passwords, I’d love to know.
You're right on. As long as you're otherwise following best practices for storing passwords, there's no downside.
But but but if I add it to the queryparams for my rest endpoint the space will break my URL!
Always urlencode your passwords!
Wait, that doesn't seem right...
