Password Validation
|
| Expression |
^.*(?=.{6,})(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[\W]).*$ |
| Description |
Well, I don't remember where from I got this expression, but I modified it a bit to work with asp.net 2.0's Regular expression validator. This validates if the password has atleast 6 characters, of which, atleast 1 character has to be Upper case, atleast 1 lower case, atleast 1 number and atleast one non-word character(say special symbols). Hope this is helpful. |

I was using this for EXACTLY the described validation in an ASP page, but discovered that I can either enter all capital letters or all lower case, and it doesn't complain... so something is just a bit off if I don't have one of each, I would expect it to fail validation.
abc123!
ABC123!
Both of those are acceptable during validation... and these REGEX expressions make my eyes blur. :-)
Thanks.

UPDATE: Never Mind... I had an error with my code where I was passing it in.
I had: myRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
It should have been myRegExp.IgnoreCase = False

Fantastic! I'm not very good with regular expressions and I actually needed one that did exactly this. I have tried to modify a couple of others I found and even tried to write my own (disaster) so this was a great help. Thanks!
