Edit Question
Title
Body
When going through registration, a lot of sites will disallow the use of symbols in passwords. This drives me up the wall from a usability perspective since I include multiple symbols in all my passwords, and as a programmer that deals with web authentication from time to time, I can't figure out why it wouldn't be allowed. Am I missing something? Are they worried about SQL injection? Don't want to deal with escaping characters? Or is there something with non-Latin-alphabet characters that can mess things up? Similar question, about sites that restrict length here .
