Another solution:

import re

passwordRegex = re.compile(r'''(
    ^(?=.*[A-Z].*[A-Z])                # at least two capital letters
    (?=.*[!@#$&*])                     # at least one of these special c-er
    (?=.*[0-9].*[0-9])                 # at least two numeric digits
    (?=.*[a-z].*[a-z].*[a-z])          # at least three lower case letters
    .{8,}                              # at least 8 total digits
    $
    )''', re.VERBOSE)

def userInputPasswordCheck():
    print('Enter a potential password:')
    while True:
        m = input()
        mo = passwordRegex.search(m) 
        if (not mo):
           print('''
Your password should have at least one special charachter,
two digits, two uppercase and three lowercase charachter. Length: 8+ ch-ers.

Enter another password:''')          
        else:
           print('Password is strong')
           return
userInputPasswordCheck()
