Validating password using regex c# [duplicate]

Answer 1

I have created a simple method to validate all kind of password. You can edit your limit on that. Kindly find the code given below.

private bool ValidatePassword(string password, out string ErrorMessage)
{
    var input = password;
    ErrorMessage = string.Empty;

    if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(input))
    {
        throw new Exception("Password should not be empty");
    }

    var hasNumber = new Regex(@"[0-9]+");
    var hasUpperChar = new Regex(@"[A-Z]+");
    var hasMiniMaxChars = new Regex(@".{8,15}");
    var hasLowerChar = new Regex(@"[a-z]+");
    var hasSymbols = new Regex(@"[!@#$%^&*()_+=\[{\]};:<>|./?,-]");

    if (!hasLowerChar.IsMatch(input))
    {
        ErrorMessage = "Password should contain At least one lower case letter";
        return false;
    }
    else if (!hasUpperChar.IsMatch(input))
    {
        ErrorMessage = "Password should contain At least one upper case letter";
        return false;
    }
    else if (!hasMiniMaxChars.IsMatch(input))
    {
        ErrorMessage = "Password should not be less than or greater than 12 characters";
        return false;
    }
    else if (!hasNumber.IsMatch(input))
    {
        ErrorMessage = "Password should contain At least one numeric value";
        return false;
    }

    else if (!hasSymbols.IsMatch(input))
    {
        ErrorMessage = "Password should contain At least one special case characters";
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        return true;
    }
}
