<DIV>Hi </DIV>
<DIV>I have been trying to Develop RegEx for a Password authentication with following rules:</DIV>
<DIV>1) Must be between 8 - 24 characters</DIV>
<DIV>2) Should have atleast 1 digit</DIV>
<DIV>3) Should have atleast 1 Alphabatic Character</DIV>
<DIV>3) Valid characters are [a-z0-9A-Z@._]</DIV>
<DIV>4) Any Characters cannot repeat more then thrice e.g. Password is "mynaaaame1" is </DIV>
<DIV> invalid because character 'a' repeated more then thrice consecutively.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rule # 1 is taken care of in password textbox by limiting textbox sixe with min=8 and max=24.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rule # 2 & 3: ^[a-z0-9A-Z@._]+$</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rule # 4: How do I apply it to ^[a-z0-9A-Z@._]+$ RegEx?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any help/Hints/Direction be much appereciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Adios,</DIV>
