So I have a simple question that I have been asked for Cybersecurity reason.

What are the valid characters that can be used for the Ignition passwords?  
Also, do older versions have a the same character limits?

Technically I guess this would depend on the user source implementation, which you haven't specified, but there are no character restrictions AFAIK.
