How to validate password using Java Regular Expression

In this tutorial we are going to see about how to validate password using Java Regular Expression

Password Regular Expression Pattern

((?=.\d)(?=.[a-z])(?=.[A-Z])(?=.[@#^$%!&]).{8,14})

PasswordValidator.java

package com.ehowtonow.regex;

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class PasswordValidator {
 private static final String PATTERN = "((?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#^$%!&]).{8,14})";

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  System.out.println("Validate Valid pattern - Abc12@abc : "+validate("Abc12@abc"));
  System.out.println("Validate No Uppercase - JTC123 : "+validate("abc12@abc!"));
  System.out.println("Validate No Upper case No Speacial character - abc1234 : "+validate("abc1234"));
  System.out.println("Validate Less than 8 character - aBc@1! : "+validate("aBc@1!"));
  System.out.println("Validate More than 14 characer @eHowToNowDotCom : "+validate("@eHowToNowDotCom"));

 }

 private static boolean validate(String password) {
  Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(PATTERN);
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(password);
  return matcher.matches();

 }

}

Output :

Validate Valid pattern – Abc12@abc : true
Validate No Uppercase – JTC123 : false
Validate No Upper case No Speacial character – abc1234 : false
Validate Less than 8 character – aBc@1! : false
Validate More than 14 characer @eHowToNowDotCom : false
