Allow spaces in passwords
In order to ensure account security, cPanel should implement better entropy calculations when evaluating the strength of a password. Additionally, this entails allowing for a wider array of possible characters for users to use in their passwords, including such characters as space ( ).
For example, here is a comparison between cPanel's current Password Strength calculator and an online password entropy calculator:
A very difficult to remember "secure password"
Password: x?+y!a?5
cPanel: 100/100 (Very Strong)
Length: 8
Entropy: 30 bits
Password: cpanel should allow spaces in passwords
cPanel: 0/0 (Very Weak), and cannot be used
Length: 39
Entropy: 153.2 bits

This is now available in 11.48+
This is planned for 11.48, however there are still some problems getting GPG to accept passwords with spaces that need to be worked around before this limitation can be removed.
