Given a password, we have to categorize it as a strong or weak one. There are some checks that need to be met to be a strong password. For a weak password, we need to return the reason for it to be weak. Conditions to be fulfilled are:
- Minimum 9 characters and maximum 20 characters.
- Cannot be a newline or a space
- There should not be three or more repeating characters in a row.
- The same string pattern(minimum of two character length) should not be repeating.
Note: For checking the basic validations of a password, click here. Examples:
Input1 : Qggf!@ghf3 Output1 : Strong Password! Input2 : aaabnil1gu Output2 : Weak Password: Same character repeats three or more times in a row Input3 : Geeksforgeeks Output3 : Weak Password: Same character repeats three or more times in a row Input4 : Aasd!feasnm Output4 : Weak password: Same string pattern repetition Input5 : 772*hdf77 Output5 : Weak password: Same string pattern repetition Input6 : " " Output6 : Password cannot be a newline or space!
Below is the implementation.
Python3
# Categorizing password as Strong or # Weak in Python using Regex import re
# Function to categorize password def password(v):
# the password should not be a
# newline or space
if v = = "\n" or v = = " " :
return "Password cannot be a newline or space!"
# the password length should be in
# between 9 and 20
if 9 < = len (v) < = 20 :
# checks for occurrence of a character
# three or more times in a row
if re.search(r '(.)\1\1' , v):
return "Weak Password: Same character repeats three or more times in a row"
# checks for occurrence of same string
# pattern( minimum of two character length)
# repeating
if re.search(r '(..)(.*?)\1' , v):
return "Weak password: Same string pattern repetition"
else :
return "Strong Password!"
else :
return "Password length must be 9-20 characters!"
# Main method def main():
# Driver code
print (password( "Qggf!@ghf3" ))
print (password( "Gggksforgeeks" ))
print (password( "aaabnil1gu" ))
print (password( "Aasd!feasn" ))
print (password( "772*hd897" ))
print (password( " " ))

Output
Strong Password! Weak password: Same string pattern repetition Weak Password: Same character repeats three or more times in a row Weak password: Same string pattern repetition Strong Password! Password cannot be a newline or space!
Time Complexity: O(N) N is refers to the length of the input password string,
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
