[SOLVE] REGEX password

Hi

By default, I can use in the field "password" the rule 'At least 6 caracters, one uppercase, one lowercase,one special character, one digit'
It works fine.

I would like to use the same REGEX but with 8 digits.

So I use ^(?=.{8,}$)(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?\W).*$

It works fine to, but the display of the error message if I make a mistake, is not the same with the default 6 digits.

I explain :

With the default REGEX (6 digits), if I make a mistake, and I correct them, the error message disappear
With my REGEX (8 digits), even if I correct my mistake, the error message still display.


Hope you understand my request.

Best regard

Hi,

Your Regex must be PHP and Javascript-compatible.

CB uses this Regex: Maybe simply changing the 6 with an 8 would do too ?

Also does your error come from Javascript or from PHP ?

Hi

With your REGEX, it works fine

I don't know if my error come from Javascript or from PHP. (it comes from CB)

Thank you.

Your REGEX was missing delimiters. Notice the REGEX supplied by beat leads with a / and ends with a / before the REGEX settings. I personally use RegexBuddy to help construct and test REGEX, but there's some free tools below that can be really helpful in generating valid REGEX.
