Password content validation

[George]

I have a password input box with some password strength settings and an indicator show the password strength. That works fine, getting the password work fine.

But now I would like the password strength settings to be enforced and reject non complying passwords.  Is there a way to know the constraints are satisfied short of writing my own code the count lower case/upper case/number/special characters myself?

The documentation says nothing and the password examples do not submit.

Thanks,
George

Hello George,

Note that the password strength checker operates on the client and it can not perform server validation as you need. In your case you can apply some custom validator or handle the "OnClientPasswordStrengthCalculating" event and perform some custom validation as per your needs.

I guess I write my own code to check password compliance since I require it on the server. 

Thank you for the answer,
