Program to check Strength of Password
A password is said to be strong if it satisfies the following criteria:
- It contains at least one lowercase English character.
- It contains at least one uppercase English character.
- It contains at least one special character. The special characters are: !@#$%^&*()-+
- Its length is at least 8.
- It contains at least one digit.
Given a string, find its strength. Let a strong password is one that satisfies all above conditions. A moderate password is one that satisfies first three conditions and has length at least 6. Otherwise password is week.
Examples :
Input : "GeeksforGeeks!@12" Output : Strong Input : "gfg!@12" Output : Moderate
// CPP program to check if a given password is // strong or not. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; void printStrongNess(string& input) { int n = input.length(); // Checking lower alphabet in string bool hasLower = false, hasUpper = false; bool hasDigit = false, specialChar = false; string normalChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "vwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890 "; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { if (islower(input[i])) hasLower = true; if (isupper(input[i])) hasUpper = true; if (isdigit(input[i])) hasDigit = true; size_t special = input.find_first_not_of(normalChars); if (special != string::npos) specialChar = true; } // Strength of password cout << "Strength of password:-"; if (hasLower && hasUpper && hasDigit && specialChar && (n >= 8)) cout << "Strong" << endl; else if ((hasLower || hasUpper) && specialChar && (n >= 6)) cout << "Moderate" << endl; else cout << "Weak" << endl; } // Driver code int main() { string input = "GeeksforGeeks!@12"; printStrongNess(input); return 0; } |
