    They certainly can have spaces. I use them in mine. I don't see why they couldn't have punctuation too. But the general advice seems to be to confine the characters to the ASCII character set. There is more discussion on the matter here: Should I use special characters in my Master Password?

    Hi @lpgorbet,

    Looks like Hawkmoth has already given you a great answer! If you have more questions about that, be sure to let us know. :)
