If a regular expression is entered it will override any other password criteria you have entered. An example of a regular expression is shown below. Further examples can be found on the website http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=password&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1.
Expression:- |
^[a-zA-Z]\w{3,14}$ |
Description:- |
The password's first character must be a letter, it must contain at least 4 characters and no more than 15 characters and no characters other than letters, numbers and the underscore may be used |
When a regular expression is used to set the password criteria the user is not told of the criteria on the password preferences window. You need to tell users the password criteria set & if a user tries to change their password but enters a password that does not meet the criteria an error message will be displayed. The password will not have been changed.
