I must add that the REGEX validation doesn't seem to solve this question or at least I don't know how to use it.

I discovered that we had to use " " to embed the regex

I whish I could use the validation rules found on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3466850/regular-expression-to-enforce-complex-passwords-matching-3-out-of-4-rules#

but  when I use "(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[\W]).{8,}" the non word character checking doesn't seem to work

any idea please ?

thanks

ok, found it: we had to sur \\W instead of just \W to give the final expression :

"(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[\\W]).{8,}"

thanks
