    Dear Experts!

     

    I just have a short question, in pgp desktop version 10.2.1 integrated with LDAP (user comes from AD). I just recognized when we are useing whole disk endcription at the boot screen we can use a password what contains space. If i thing rihgt it isn't allowed to use space in password?

    Thanks for your answer!

    They're now called "Passphrases" as opposed to passwords because they can literally be sentences with spaces, a space is a character so yes spaces are allowed
