WiFi password won't allow spaces

[Zephbane]

My work IT uses spaces in our wifi password. But the wifi password keyboard wont let you type [space] as a valid character, as well most of the symbols. Obviously space (and symbols) work on other screens, but not the wifi screen. And based on all of the issues Honda has to address with this new car. I highly doubt this will ever get fixed.

I've been wondering when we'd see a report about something like this. MyFordTouch at one point, after an update, wouldn't allow more than 10 characters for a WPA2 password. Not allowing many of the symbols will make it very hard to key to my phone's hotspot. (Not to mention how tedious it is to key in 63 character mixed number/alpha/symbol keys on a touch keyboard.)

Another thing I've wondered: does the touch screen support copy and paste? Could you, say, browse to a web page with your key, select and copy it via touch, then go to the WiFi settings, get the keyboard active, and touch paste?
