6x Space does not show up as pwned password
https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords
If you type in spaces (any number, I used 6 here), they are not detected or evaluated as pwned passwords. I thought that was curious.
Seems this could possibly mislead some to think they are being clever by entering just spaces as a password.
Does anyone know the exact reason for this? Is it simply impossible to query this as a record in their DB? Would a password field usually not accept spaces?

- teapot01 8y agoI'm only guessing, but in the blog posts about the password search feature he said there was a lot of cleanup of badly formatted files it's possible that the whitespace got ignored?
