    It’s not the processing on the server that’s the problem. To reach the server the password needs to go through several layers of character encoding, if any of them fails the server will receive something different from what you meant. And when you try to login from another device and the layers will be different you’ll effectively be sending a different password.

        That is very much not a 90s problem. Especially if the company has a website and an app or is a small company not thinking about these things.

        In theory this shouldn’t be an issue but it definitely could be an issue on certain services.
