Password checker program basically checks if a password is valid or not based on the password policies mention below: 

  • Password should not contain any space. 
  • Password should contain at least one digit(0-9). 
  • Password length should be between 8 to 15 characters. 
  • Password should contain at least one lowercase letter(a-z). 
  • Password should contain at least one uppercase letter(A-Z). 
  • Password should contain at least one special character ( @, #, %, &, !, $, etc…).

Example: 

Input: GeeksForGeeks 
Output: Invalid Password!
This input contains lowercase 
as well as uppercase letters 
but does not contain digits 
and special characters.

Input: Geek$ForGeeks7
Output: Valid Password
This input satisfies all password
policies mentioned above.

Approach:
In this program, 

  • we are using String contains () method to check the passwords. This method accepts a CharSequence as an argument and returns true if the argument is present in a string otherwise returns false. 
  • Firstly the length of the password has to be checked then whether it contains uppercase, lowercase, digits and special characters. 
  • If all of them are present then the method isValid(String password) returns true.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ code to validate a password
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// A utility function to check
// whether a password is valid or not
bool isValid(string password)
{
 
    // For checking if password length
    // is between 8 and 15
    if (!((password.length() >= 8) &&
          (password.length() <= 15)))
        return false;
 
    // To check space
    if (password.find(" ") !=
        std::string::npos)
        return false;
 
    if (true)
    {
        int count = 0;
 
        // Check digits from 0 to 9
        for(int i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
        {
             
            // To convert int to string
            string str1 = to_string(i);
 
            if (password.find(str1) !=
                std::string::npos)
                count = 1;
        }
        if (count == 0)
            return false;
    }
 
    // For special characters
    if (!((password.find("@") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("#") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("!") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("~") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("$") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("%") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("^") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("&") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("*") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("(") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find(")") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("-") != std::string::npos) ||
            (password.find("+") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("/") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find(":") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find(".") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find(",") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("<") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find(">") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("?") != std::string::npos) ||
          (password.find("|") != std::string::npos)))
        return false;
     
    if (true)
    {
        int count = 0;
 
        // Checking capital letters
        for(int i = 65; i <= 90; i++)
        {
             
            // Type casting
            char c = (char)i;
            string str1(1, c);
             
            if (password.find(str1) !=
                std::string::npos)
                count = 1;
        }
        if (count == 0)
            return false;
    }
 
    if (true)
    {
        int count = 0;
 
        // Checking small letters
        for(int i = 97; i <= 122; i++)
        {
             
            // Type casting
            char c = (char)i;
            string str1(1, c);
 
            if (password.find(str1) !=
                std::string::npos)
                count = 1;
        }
        if (count == 0)
            return false;
    }
 
    // If all conditions fails
    return true;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string password1 = "GeeksForGeeks";
     
    if (isValid(password1))
        cout << "Valid Password" << endl;
    else
        cout << "Invalid Password" << endl;
