This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Sorry, I have written poorly: I mean that an ASCII character is equal to any other ASCII character for the purposes of both internationality and cryptography. Why A-Z is ok and $ is not?
I hate the sites that disallow "special" characters because they weaken security for... what, exactly?

using gesture or swipe input on mobiles, too hard to do some of the specials

That could be it. Still a dumb thing to do, in my opinion.

Typing passwords on mobile devices is the worst!
That's one of the big reasons I created C'Ya Pass so you never have to type a password again.
You can get the free Android version right now.
This really isn't spam. It's totally related. You can read my articles here where I formulated this new idea of generating passwords that are SHA256 hashes (probably as unhackable as a password could ever be).
You can also get the windows version of C'Ya Pass at my site: C'YaPass: F*orget All Your Passwords | Never Memorize A Password Again <br/> Never Type A Password Again <br/> Never Make Up A Password Again[^]
I'm really not trying to be spammy. You can read all about technology behind this here at CP in my articles.

I just want Android to include a general, always available, "see password" option. Mine are nearly all English sentences or phrases, so it's more typing on a wee tiny touch screen and lots of chance of mistakes.

Yeah, it's really difficult. You could type your password in a Note app copy and paste into the target I guess?
Thank goodness paste still works in password fields (most).

Not a reason to remove them, just a reason to not make them mandatory.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No idea why you need special characters... I use 1234 everywhere...

For many everything that comes after 3 already is a special character.

But we still use it on our corporate iPads now that a lock code is enforced as accessibility is more important than security for demo apps.

actually, they've determined that the hackers can easily replicate shoving in those few extra special characters into their password generators and they only serve to make the passwords more difficult to remember for users.
The best information on passwords is that they should be :
1. much longer (my application generates 64 char passwords based upon the SHA256 hash)
2. not based upon words -- this protects from any kind of dictionary attack -- which basically all the hacker attacks which attempt to reverse passwords are based upon
I've just written an blog article on this recently (pulled from my blog) ==> How Hackers Crack Passwords (part 1)[^]
The paradigm shift that people can't get over with C'Ya Pass is that you never have to memorize a password again and they aren't stored anywhere. They're generated every time for your use.
I apologize if this sounded a bit like gratuitous self promotion, but I'm really passionate about this whole (stupid) password thing. Passwords are terrible.

That's fine. So, don't make it required. My problem is they are preventing you from using a special character.

Oh, very good point.
That's ridiculous that they don't allow it. What?
I use my app exclusively for my own passwords and I'm always annoyed when sites tell me that I have to use a special char, because with my app my passwords now look like:
1. cf82bb8b015707c5cef11942b88bb058d3795f4dcae551e65ea72891333a1384
2. ea50612a6d5dde56c7a826cc03317e99c2f2f5547b0bd0b5e985ac27883b8242
Those are extremely strong because they are long and not based upon words.
Those silly password checkers will say they are of medium complexity.
 The industry has a lot to learn.

Ya, sure. I was only off by one character when I tried to guess your password.

You have the fantastic ability of generating SHA256 hashes completely from memory. 
There are only more of them than there are stars in the universe so it's easy.

They ain't silly...
12 chars with 26 possibilities (9,54e16 combinations)
10 chars with 52 possibilities (1,445e17 combinations)
Your length is bullish when it comes to complexity
