It would be nice to have a list of what is considered a symbol by the visual strenght checker so to reproduce an adeguate custom validator wich consider the same symbols.
Is there a way to retrieve such complete list of symbols? For example it seems it doesn't consider the "," (comma) as a valid symbol.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try setting the MinimumSymbolCharacters property of the PasswordStrengthSettings to a desired value. Please have a look at the following sample code.
ASPX:

Thank you Shinu for your reply. This sets HOW MANY minimum symbols you want in the password fiels.
What I was asking is WICH characters are considered symbols from the checker. For example in my testings, the comma (,) is not considered a symbol. So it would be nice to have a complete list of what it considers symbols to have a regex/custom validator to act accordingly.

After some research I found out WICH characters are considered symbols from the RadInput strenghtchecker and why the comma (,) is not.
It seems the strenghtchecker checks for: [^a-z,A-Z,0-9,\x20] ,"g" (global). Wich means everything that is not a number, a letter, a space (x20) and of course a comma, since those ranges should have not been separated by ",".
I think this was clearly a mistake from Telerik (since if it was inted a single comma "," would have been enough).
So the correct regex should have been [^a-zA-Z0-9\x20] ,"g" (without commas) and that would have considered "special character" everything but letters, numbers and space (wich I think was the intended behaviour)
Give us the comma back! :)
