Password regex and warning not working?

I think there's a problem with password regular expressions, or perhaps I just cannot work out the right syntax.

I cannot find any regex that passes (and I've tried on the demo site). No matter what I enter into the site settings for the "Password Strength Regular Expression" we get this markup on the page:

<span data-val-controltovalidate="ctl00_mainContent_RegisterUser_CreateUserStepContainer_Password" data-val-errormessage="Please make Password more complex." data-val-display="None" data-val-validationGroup="profile" id="ctl00_mainContent_RegisterUser_CreateUserStepContainer_PasswordRegex" class="txterror" data-val="true" data-val-evaluationfunction="RegularExpressionValidatorEvaluateIsValid" style="display:none;"></span>
(which is obviously missing its data-val-validationexpression="blah", and is also ignoring our configured "Password Strength Error Message").

The presence of something in the site setting does make this regex validator appear, but it's not working right. Have I missed something?

Re: Password regex and warning not working?

I've had a quick poke about in the code and think I can give you the fixes for this issue.

In Register.aspx.cs...

RegularExpressionValidator passwordRegex

= (RegularExpressionValidator)CreateUserWizardStep1.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("PasswordRegex");

// CF bug fix part 1 https://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&t=13155~1

if (siteSettings.PasswordRegexWarning.Length > 0)

{

passwordRegex.ErrorMessage = siteSettings.PasswordRegexWarning;

}

else

{

passwordRegex.ErrorMessage = Resource.RegisterPasswordRegexWarning;

}

//end fix

AND (further down)

if (Membership.Provider.PasswordStrengthRegularExpression.Length == 0)

{

passwordRegex.Visible = false;

}

//CF bug fix part 2 https://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&t=13155~1

else

{

passwordRegex.ValidationExpression = Membership.Provider.PasswordStrengthRegularExpression;

}

//end fix
