Passwords

Not sure where to put this, but have seen a similar post here.  I got a message that my account was compromised.  Not sure how since I have always had 2FA enabled, and all of my passwords for web pages are different, but like a good boy I changed my password.  And then remembered the problem I had the last time I changed my password.  I use really complex passwords.  Except on sites like Zoom.  The website can handle a password with spaces in it, but the Linux zoom client cannot.  Apparently Windows zoom clients can't either.  I can't log into the Zoom client with a password with spaces in it.  2022?

This seems very much like a bug.  The website silently filters out spaces you type when entering a password, so you end up with a password without the spaces even though you hit the spacebar while typing them.  The Windows app (and presumably the Linux app) don't do this and allow the spaces, causing the password to be wrong if you reset the password on the full website.

This issue still persists. I have to copy a password with whitespace from the clipboard. Typing it won't work.
