 Hi @tyxla @adrianosilvaferreira @jperlman, following up on this old
 ticket.

 Currently, the password is trimmed for leading or trailing spaces when
 creating a user, and also when logging a user. The only time spaces are
 considered in a password is when there are spaces within the password.

 For example, if my Password is: "Test Password", then, the space won't be
 trimmed. I will be needing to enter the password exactly with an equal
 number of spaces. But, if the password were "TestPassword  ", then, I will
 be able to log in with/without those spaces at the end.

 I hope this clarifies. As this issue is already fixed, let's close this
 ticket for now. Thanks a lot for contributing here.
