Validation of a Password - Python

Question

So I have to create code that validate whether a password:

• Is at least 8 characters long
• Contains at least 1 number
• Contains at least 1

Answer 1

password.isdigit() does not check if the password contains a digit, it checks all the characters according to:

str.isdigit(): Return true if all characters in the string are digits and there is at least one character, false otherwise.

password.isupper() does not check if the password has a capital in it, it checks all the characters according to:

str.isupper(): Return true if all cased characters in the string are uppercase and there is at least one cased character, false otherwise.

For a solution, please check the question and accepted answer at check if a string contains a number.

You can build your own hasNumbers()-function (Copied from linked question):

def hasNumbers(inputString):
    return any(char.isdigit() for char in inputString)

and a hasUpper()-function:

def hasUpper(inputString):
    return any(char.isupper() for char in inputString)
