Aww man, I've been using "somesuch" as the password for all my accounts and now you've ruined it! Luckily I use your dog's name for my bank passwords which is probably still safe. To address the OP, I would agree with skipping trim on both the user name and password. If it's a copy-paste error, they will try again. If you want to get fancy, warn when the password starts with or ends with spaces if it comes back incorrect, but I think that's probably going to be so rare as not to be worth the extra effort.
