Hi Arjuna,

There must be some requirement i.e. what is strong password? combination of numbers and digits etc

check this link and sample script below

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-platform-administration/page/script/server-scripting/task...

Sample script below either have it as onChange or onSubmit

//The password will take character in between 8-15 and will must consist at least one small character. one capital character, one digit and any special character among @#$%^&+=.

function onSubmit() {

  var inputtext =   g_form.getValue('Password'); // give your field/variable name here

  var param = /^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#$%^&+=]).{8,15}/;  

  if(!inputtext.match(param))
  {
  alert('Please Provide Correct Password');
  return false;
  }
  else
  return true;
}

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi,

Please use the following client script:

type:onsubmit

script:

function onSubmit() {

var pswd = g_form.getValue('passwordfield'); // give your field/variable name here

var param = ^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#\$%\^&\*])(?=.{8,});

if(!pswd.match(param))
{
alert('Kindly enter a strong password.');
return false;
}
else
return true;
}

---------------

Details of regex expressions being used:

^ The password string will start this way
(?=.*[a-z]) The string must contain at least 1 lowercase alphabetical character
(?=.*[A-Z]) The string must contain at least 1 uppercase alphabetical character
(?=.*[0-9]) The string must contain at least 1 numeric character
(?=.[!@#\$%\^&]) The string must contain at least one special character, but we are escaping reserved RegEx characters to avoid conflict
(?=.{8,}) The string must be eight characters or longer

Munender
