I seem to have an issue with users who copy-paste their usernames and passwords coping and pasting leading and trailing space characters.Don't trim or limit the range of input characters, but far more importantly /don't send passwords in clear text/, indeed don't generate passwords at all, let users enter there desired password, then they won't be copy and pasting them ;) ps: if unavoidable, then give some advice on "login" failure like "passwords are case sensitive, check you don't have caps lock on and that you haven't included any additional spaces".
