#2989 [enhancement]Automatically remove invisible characters or provide a prompt when creating a new entry.

[Elden White]

My previous passwords were all stored in a text file. When I discovered this useful software and attempted to transfer all the passwords, I didn't notice that during my copy-paste process, unexpected invisible characters (possibly a line break or something else, I don't know) were added at the end of the passwords and usernames.

This causes me to always encounter errors when logging into many websites or apps, but there are no errors when I enter the information manually. It was only later that I realized it was because blank characters had been stored.

I would like to add a new feature where, when creating a new entry, the invisible characters at the beginning and end will be automatically removed, or a prompt will be given regarding the invisible characters.

After all, generally speaking, no one would include blank characters in a password, and no website or app would allow blank characters in a password, would they?

Besides, I am still troubled by blank characters at present. Because I have no way of knowing which of my entries I accidentally added blank characters at the beginning and end, I cannot see them or search for them (using Ctrl+F). Only when I try to use automatic input and find that I cannot log in, will I realize that this entry might have had blank characters added. I hope this pain point can also be resolved for me, which is how to batch remove blank characters from the existing entries.

Best wishes!
