Javascript 具有特殊字符的正则表达式密码验证

Question

I am trying to validate the password using regular expression. The password is getting updated if we have all the characters as alphabets. Where am i going wrong? is the regular expression right?

function validatePassword() {
    var newPassword = document.getElementById('changePasswordForm').newPassword.value;
    var minNumberofChars = 6;
    var maxNumberofChars = 16;
    var regularExpression  = /^[a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*]{6,16}$/;
    alert(newPassword); 
    if(newPassword.length < minNumberofChars || newPassword.length > maxNumberofChars){
        return false;
    }
    if(!regularExpression.test(newPassword)) {
        alert("password should contain atleast one number and one special character");
        return false;
    }
}

Answer 1

Use positive lookahead assertions:

var regularExpression = /^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*])[a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*]{6,16}$/;

Without it, your current regex only matches that you have 6 to 16 valid characters, it doesn't validate that it has at least a number, and at least a special character. That's what the lookahead above is for.

• (?=.*[0-9]) - Assert a string has at least one number;
• (?=.*[!@#$%^&*]) - Assert a string has at least one special character.

Answer 2

function validatePassword() {
    var p = document.getElementById('newPassword').value,
        errors = [];
    if (p.length < 8) {
        errors.push("Your password must be at least 8 characters"); 
    }
    if (p.search(/[a-z]/i) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one letter.");
    }
    if (p.search(/[0-9]/) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one digit."); 
    }
    if (errors.length > 0) {
        alert(errors.join("\n"));
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

There is a certain issue in below answer as it is not checking whole string due to absence of [ ] while checking the characters and numerals, this is correct version

Answer 3

I use the following script for min 8 letter password, with at least a symbol, upper and lower case letters and a number

function checkPassword(str)
{
    var re = /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[!@#$%^&*])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,}$/;
    return re.test(str);
}

Answer 4

you can make your own regular expression for javascript validation

    /^            : Start
    (?=.{8,})        : Length
    (?=.*[a-zA-Z])   : Letters
    (?=.*\d)         : Digits
    (?=.*[!#$%&? "]) : Special characters
    $/              : End



        (/^
        (?=.*\d)                //should contain at least one digit
        (?=.*[a-z])             //should contain at least one lower case
        (?=.*[A-Z])             //should contain at least one upper case
        [a-zA-Z0-9]{8,}         //should contain at least 8 from the mentioned characters

        $/)

Example:-   /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-zA-Z])[a-zA-Z0-9]{7,}$/

Answer 5

Don't try and do too much in one step. Keep each rule separate.

function validatePassword() {
    var p = document.getElementById('newPassword').value,
        errors = [];
    if (p.length < 8) {
        errors.push("Your password must be at least 8 characters");
    }
    if (p.search(/[a-z]/i) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one letter."); 
    }
    if (p.search(/[0-9]/) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one digit.");
    }
    if (errors.length > 0) {
        alert(errors.join("\n"));
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Answer 6

Regex for password :

/^(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[AZ])(?=.*[az])(?=.*[a-zA-Z!#$%&? "])[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&?]{8,20}$/

Took me a while to figure out the restrictions, but I did it!

Restrictions: (Note: I have used >> and << to show the important characters)

1. Minimum 8 characters {>>8,20}
2. Maximum 20 characters {8,>>20}
3. At least one uppercase character (?=.*[AZ])
4. At least one lowercase character (?=.*[az])
5. At least one digit (?=.*\\d)
6. At least one special character (?=.*[a-zA-Z >>!#$%&? "<<])[a-zA-Z0-9 >>!#$%&?<< ]

Answer 7

<div>
    <input type="password" id="password" onkeyup="CheckPassword(this)" />
</div>   

<div  id="passwordValidation" style="color:red" >
    
</div>

 function CheckPassword(inputtxt) 
    { 
    var passw= /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[^a-zA-Z0-9])(?!.*\s).{7,15}$/;
    if(inputtxt.value.match(passw)) 
    { 
    $("#passwordValidation").html("")
    return true;
    }
    else
    { 
    $("#passwordValidation").html("min 8 characters which contain at least one numeric digit and a special character");
    return false;
    }
    }

Answer 8

it,s work perfect for me and i am sure will work for you guys checkout it easy and accurate

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

if(regix.test(password) == false ) {
     $('.messageBox').html(`<div class="messageStackError">
       password must be a minimum of 8 characters including number, Upper, Lower And 
       one special character
     </div>`);
}
else
{
        $('form').submit();
}

Answer 9

If you check the length seperately, you can do the following:

var regularExpression  = /^[a-zA-Z]$/;

if (regularExpression.test(newPassword)) {
    alert("password should contain atleast one number and one special character");
    return false;
} 

Answer 10

After a lot of research, I was able to come up with this. This has more special characters

validatePassword(password) {
        const re = /(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*()+=-\?;,./{}|\":<>\[\]\\\' ~_]).{8,}/
        return re.test(password);
    }

Answer 11

Very helpful. It will help end user to identify which char is missing\/required while entering password.

function validatePassword(p) {
    //var p = document.getElementById('newPassword').value,
    const errors = [];
    if (p.length < 8) {
        errors.push("Your password must be at least 8 characters");
    }
    if (p.length > 32) {
        errors.push("Your password must be at max 32 characters");
    }
    if (p.search(/[a-z]/) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one lower case letter."); 
    }
    if (p.search(/[A-Z]/) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one upper case letter."); 
    }

    if (p.search(/[0-9]/) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least one digit.");
    }
   if (p.search(/[!@#\$%\^&\*_]/) < 0) {
        errors.push("Your password must contain at least special char from -[ ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ ]"); 
    }
    if (errors.length > 0) {
        console.log(errors.join("\n"));
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

我的验证 shema - 大写、小写、数字和特殊字符

new RegExp("^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[^A-Za-z0-9_])")

Answer 13

当您重新创建帐户密码时，请确保它是 8-20 个字符，包括数字和特殊字符，例如##\\/* - 然后验证新密码并重新输入完​​全相同的密码，应该可以解决密码验证的问题

Answer 14

Here is the password validation example I hope you like it.

Password validation with Uppercase, Lowercase, special character,number and limit 8 must be required.

 function validatePassword(){ var InputValue = $("#password").val(); var regex = new RegExp("^(?=.*[az])(?=.*[AZ])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#\\$%\\^&\\*])(?=.{8,})"); $("#passwordText").text(`Password value:- ${InputValue}`); if(!regex.test(InputValue)) { $("#error").text("Invalid Password"); } else{ $("#error").text(""); } }

 #password_Validation{ background-color:aliceblue; padding:50px; border:1px solid; border-radius:5px; } #passwordText{ color:green; } #error{ color:red; } #password{ margin-bottom:5px; }

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="password_Validation"> <h4>Password validation with Uppercase Lowercase special character and number must be required.</h4> <div> <input type="password" name="password" id="password"> <button type="button" onClick="validatePassword()">Submit</button> <div> <br/> <span id="passwordText"></span> <br/> <br/> <span id="error"></span> <div>

Here I'm extending @João Silva's answer. I had a requirement to check different parameters and throw different messages accordingly.

Answer 16

International UTF-8

None of the solutions here allows international characters, ie éÉáÁöÖæÆþÞóÓúÚ, but are only focused on the english alphabet.

The following regEx uses unicode, UTF-8, to recognise upper and lower case and thus, allow international characters:

// Match uppercase, lowercase, digit or #$!%*?& and make sure the length is 8 to 96 in length  
const pwdFilter = /^(?=.*\p{Ll})(?=.*\p{Lu})(?=.*[\d|@#$!%*?&])[\p{L}\d@#$!%*?&]{8,96}$/gmu

if (!pwdFilter.test(pwd)) {
    // Show error that password has to be adjusted to match criteria
}

This regEx

/^(?=.*\\p{Ll})(?=.*\\p{Lu})(?=.*[\\d|@#$!%*?&])[\\p{L}\\d@#$!%*?&]{8,96}$/gmu

checks if an uppercase, lowercase, digit or #$!%*?& are used in the password. It also limits the length to be 8 minimum and maximum 96, the length of 😀🇮🇸🧑‍💻 emojis count as more than one character in the length. The u in the end, tells it to use UTF-8.

Answer 17

var regularExpression = /^(?=. [0-9])(?=. [!@#$%^& ])[a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^& ]{6,16}$/;

Without it, your current regex only matches that you have 6 to 16 valid characters, it doesn't validate that it has at least a number, and at least a special character. That's what the lookahead above is for.

(?=. [0-9]) - Assert a string has at least one number; (?=. [.@#$%^&*]) - Assert a string has at least one special character.
