First off, if spaces are such a problem then you can simply strip them behind the scenes before hashing the password and when the user logs in. Second, if you're sending someone their password then you've got bigger problems than spaces. Also, stripping spaces on behalf of the user before hashing and upon sign in also takes care of the copy-paste issue. | |
