I had a IoT device "lightbulb" that would trim any spaces left after the passkey, problem being I intentionally had a blank space at the end of my passkey. Took a while to realize till I counted the little stars hiding the recorded passkey.

Nothing grinds my gears like password interfaces that modify the password. If empty spaces at the beginning/end are an issue, tell the user. Show a note, or at worst a modal. But don't modify it.
