[twitter-dev] Re: php regex for twitter password

2009-08-16 Thread Andrew Badera

At least 6
At least one capital letter
At least one non-capital letter
At least on numeric

[Stronger]
At least 8
At least one non-alphanumeric

I'd love to provide a RegEx ... only :
a) I live in the .NET world not PHP, and,
b) There are TONS -- BAJILLIONS -- of password regexes available on
the interwebs that describe every frickin' reasonable permutation of
such.

Do you mean to verify proper length and character composition? I don't know
of publicized documentation other then passwords have minimum length of 6
characters.

Depending on your deployment scenario, you could let Google do the
heavy lifting for you ;)
