Password REGEX with min 6 chars, at least one letter and one number and may contain special characters

by

Perhaps a single regex could be used, but that makes it hard to give the user feedback for which rule they aren’t following. A more traditional approach like this gives you feedback that you can use in the UI to tell the user what pwd rule is not being met:

function checkPwd(str) {
    if (str.length < 6) {
        return("too_short");
    } else if (str.length > 50) {
        return("too_long");
    } else if (str.search(/\d/) == -1) {
        return("no_num");
    } else if (str.search(/[a-zA-Z]/) == -1) {
        return("no_letter");
    } else if (str.search(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]/) != -1) {
        return("bad_char");
    }
    return("ok");
}
