    Alphanumeric Password

    Hi everyone,

    I has a textbox for user to enter their password. How can I check whether the password meet the security requirement where the password must be combination of alphabetic and numeric?

    Is it I can doing it using Regular Expression? Does anyone can advice on this?

    Maybe these links give you some ideas (googled for 'password complexity' and also 'password complexity checker javascript')

    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.
