Register iPhone "Password cannot contain spaces"

I want to register my iPhone but cannot login to my existing Apple ID because the screen shows an error saying my password cannot contain spaces...

However, my actual password does contain space(s), and I have never experienced issues with logging in elsewhere. (appleid.apple.com, iTunes Store, developer.apple.com, ...)

Is this some kind of bug in the register form?

Mavericks 10.9.2

iTunes 11.1.4

iPhone5 w/ iOS 7.0.6

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

What happens when you change your password to one without spaces?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I understand that could be a workaround for the problem, and that probably would work but I don't think it really solves the issue.

There is no other solution. That's how Apple set it up/

Could I possibly contact someone at Apple Support so they can fix this issue? This is a bug in the register form, right?

You can call AppleCare & ask to talk to "Account Security". But, I suspect you'll be told the same thing: change your password to one that does not contain spaces.

Good luck.
