Hence why you have a "forgot password" link on your webpage like this service does.

@iProgram, a "forgot password" link also leads to support problems and if secure access is needed a "reset password link" can not just be emailed to the person.

Admittedly, typing certain characters on a mobile device can be very tricky and more trouble than it's worth. I know that a password I used frequently prior to owning a smart-phone turned out to be very non-mobile friendly. Nowadays, I can see people creating a password that includes a half a dozen Emojis or foreign language Unicode mixed in with other characters... Limiting them to standard ASCII does make sense just from an ease-of-use standpoint, let alone technical.

I now mostly use lower case letters, as on a smart phone, it takes as long to type two lower case letter then 1 number or upper case letter.
