Allow whitespace in (administrator) passwords and if you don't give proper feedback.
If I enter an administrator password with whitespace in it, it seems to be accepted but isn't actually applied.

Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

Don't worry, we don't use Plesk anymore.

Christian,
We can not reproduce problem with uncorrect validation. Could you provide more detailed steps to reproduce?

Actually, if I change users's password via passwd on the server itself instead of using the Plesk interface, I can use whitespace in passwords. As said, if I try the same via the Plesk interface there's no feedback that the password wasn't accepted. The entered password is actually rated as strong or very strong. There doesn't seem to be any validation before the new password is applied (which apparently fails silently). The restrictions on password are certainly documented in the manual. However, why isn't this information directly in the web interface? Last but not least, I don't see the point of disallowing whitespace in passwords at all.
