It depends on the words.
There's nothing unusual about the words; they are valid dictionary words, that each have their first letters capitalised.
I've laid out the regexp in ‘verbose’ style to make it easier to see its structure. I've added line numbers for reference.1 ^ 2 (?i) It's poorly written. Lines of interest: 1. Match start of the password. 2. Case insensitive from here on. 3. Do not match...
So, it is likely that the chars in my password comply with the regex, and the problem is simply a bug parsing it. I find it interesting that the response to a (supposedly) non-compliant password is a message that 99 out of a 100 users would have no understanding of whatever. (as opposed to someone like me, who at least knows what a regex is, even if I can't understand it.) -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-11-12 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... https://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
