vsphere 7 root password ui/ssh copy paste

[jbabcock2017]

Hello all, so I am either going crazy or some new policy in vsphere esxi 7 is messing with me. 

So, when accessing either UI or SSH to a vsphere 7.0 host and entering root userid and then pasting in the password they both fail with incorrect pw (UI) and access denied (SSH). IF you type the pw in manually and not copy paste they work. 

WTF

?

Hey @jbabcock2017,

Could it be that you are copying it from an specific Windows sofware? Sometimes it hides some blank spaces at the end. This does not seem a vSphere issue.
