Implementing password rules
-
I've been asked to setup a webpage to use to change passwords. That's the easy part... the tricky part is that I have to run the password through a rule check. It can't be a dictionary word, has to be 8 characters, must have a number in it... etc etc. Anyone know of an easy way to do this? I'm just figuring that this has been done so many times before, there has got to be something already implemented that I can use. [Edit] I have googled, but I'm not sure what to google for... password rule doesn't get me anywhere [/Edit]

Thanks for the link. that was interesting, but not quite what I'm looking for. The article states: "This dialog can be easily extended to add rules to force a minimum size, and even force a combination of case sensitive letters, numbers and punctuation, but that is beyond the scope of this article." It's this extra stuff that I'm looking to find code for. I could easily write it myself, but I figure someone else has already done this for me. I'm looking for a library or premade class that checks a password against a given dictionary, plus customizable numbers and punctuation rules.

Another kewl link, but I couldn't find anything about checking a given password against a dictionary in that article.

That would of course be a good way of doing it... know of some code that already has that implemented? I'm just trying to avoid writting code that someone else has already put together. [Edit] Thanks for mentioning Reg Exp btw... That led me to this[^]. Now I just need some code to check the password against a dictionary. [/Edit]
