characters in password - wallee - 02.09.2017

What characters should i allow in passwords or should i not restrict any at all? My concern is will my database be able to save german / spanish / russian letters or some special characters that i don't even know about? I don't want it getting bugged and people complaining they can't access their account ...

It doesn't matter, they're still ascii characters and your passwords should be hashed. You don't need to restrict anything.

If you use any decent hashing algorithm (i.e. not that udb_hash crap) then the output will be saved as a long hexadecimal string regardless of what the input is.

SHA256 is fine but consider using salts for further security.
