Hi folks,

I'm trying to setup an automatic email of our logs, but I'm facing a trouble : smtp authentification password are not considered valid if they contains a space character.
As I'm using gmail to send emails, and password apps are generated by google and are always including spaces I'm in a dead end.
Could you consider adding spaces to the allowed charset ?
Kind regards,
David

    @Zyxel_Kay application passwords are displayed using padding spaces, but we should not write them down.

    Just a missleading representation of my key.

    Hi @dFx

    We currently do not support using a blank space as a password, and it is not possible to save passwords with blank spaces at this time.

    We recommend using an app password instead. You can find more information on how to set this up here:
