Regex to validate password strength

Question

My password strength criteria is as below :

• 8 characters length
• 2 letters in Upper Case
• 1 Special Character (!@#$&*)
<

Answer 1

All of above regex unfortunately didn't worked for me. A strong password's basic rules are

• Should contain at least a capital letter
• Should contain at least a small letter
• Should contain at least a number
• Should contain at least a special character
• And minimum length

So, Best Regex would be

^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#\$%\^&\*]).{8,}$

The above regex have minimum length of 8. You can change it from {8,} to {any_number,}

Modification in rules?

let' say you want minimum x characters small letters, y characters capital letters, z characters numbers, Total minimum length w. Then try below regex

^(?=.*[a-z]{x,})(?=.*[A-Z]{y,})(?=.*[0-9]{z,})(?=.*[!@#\$%\^&\*]).{w,}$

Note: Change x, y, z, w in regex
