How to implement regex for password verification in Swift?

Question

I want to implement regex validaton for passwords in Swift? I tried the following regex but not successfully

([(0-9)(A-Z)(!@#$%ˆ&*+-=<>)]+)([a-z]*){6,15}

My requirement is the following: Password must be more than 6 characters, with at least one metropolitan, numeric or special character

Answer 1

Regular expression

(?:(?:(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?[-!@#$%&*ˆ+=_])|(?:(?=.*?[0-9])|(?=.*?[A-Z])|(?=.*?[-!@#$%&*ˆ+=_])))|(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?[-!@#$%&*ˆ+=_]))[A-Za-z0-9-!@#$%&*ˆ+=_]{6,15}

Answer 2

You can use Regex to check password strength.

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

Regex Explanation: -

^                         Start anchor
(?=.*[A-Z].*[A-Z])        Ensure string has two uppercase letters.
(?=.*[!@#$&*])            Ensure string has one special case letter.
(?=.*[0-9].*[0-9])        Ensure string has two digits.
(?=.*[a-z].*[a-z].*[a-z]) Ensure string has three lowercase letters.
.{8}                      Ensure string is of length 8.
$                         End anchor.

, 6 , , ,

^.*(?=.{6,})(?=.*[AZ])(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?=.*\\d)|(?=.*[!#$%&? "]).*$

^ assert position at start of the string
.* matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
(?=.{6,}) Positive Lookahead - Assert that the regex below can be matched
.{6,} matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: {6,} Between 6 and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
(?=.*[A-Z]) Positive Lookahead - Assert that the regex below can be matched
.* matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
[A-Z] match a single character present in the list below
A-Z a single character in the range between A and Z (case sensitive)
(?=.*[a-zA-Z]) Positive Lookahead - Assert that the regex below can be matched
.* matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
[a-zA-Z] match a single character present in the list below
a-z a single character in the range between a and z (case sensitive)
A-Z a single character in the range between A and Z (case sensitive)
(?=.*\\d) Positive Lookahead - Assert that the regex below can be matched
.* matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
\d match a digit [0-9]
2nd Alternative: (?=.*[!#$%&? "]).*$
(?=.*[!#$%&? "]) Positive Lookahead - Assert that the regex below can be matched
.* matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
[!#$%&? "] match a single character present in the list below
!#$%&? " a single character in the list !#$%&? " literally (case sensitive)
.* matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
$ assert position at end of the string

Answer 4

public func isValidPassword() -> Bool {
    let passwordRegex = "^(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])[0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%^&*()\\-_=+{}|?>.<,:;~']{8,}$"
    return NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", passwordRegex).evaluate(with: self)
}

If you need a quick solution. This is a regular expression password check. Copy / paste in the auxiliary file or extension file and use it.
