There's no technical reason for this. It's all about reducing their support burden. I wish they'd just be honest.

- MichaelGG 14y agoSounds like lack of technical thinking if it actually reduces support burden. It's trivial to just remove spaces before storing the password, allowing authentication with or without spaces. I'm not sure why people don't realise that normalizing the password before saving the hash is acceptable, so long there's still enough password material being used.
