I have to do jQuery form validation for password.
The password should contain at least two special characters in any order. I have tried with
Regular Expression for password validation but it does not address that two random special characters can come at any order.
How do I do it using a JavaScript regular expression?
You do not have to use look-arounds in cases when you do not have to.
If you only need to make sure the string has at least 2 characters of a specific set, use this kind of a regex (with a negated class to make it more robust):
/(?:[^`!@#$%^&*\-_=+'\/.,]*[`!@#$%^&*\-_=+'\/.,]){2}/
See demo
In javascript it worked for me:
/(?=(.*[`!@#$%\^&*\-_=\+'/\.,]){2})/
var goodtogo = false;
var pass = 'simp!le@'; //example
var times = pass.match(/[\\\[\]\/\(\)\+\*\?`!@#$%\^&_=-]/g).length;
if(times >= 2)
goodtogo = true;
Now I advice you to try several passwords and if you find a bug or something don't hesitate to yell back.
And if you have more special chars just add them to the parameter for match.
Hope it helps.
