Solution

  • You can do these checks using positive look ahead assertions:

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

    Explanation:

    ^                         Start anchor
    (?=.*[A-Z].*[A-Z])        Ensure string has two uppercase letters.
    (?=.*[!@#$&*])            Ensure string has one special case letter.
    (?=.*[0-9].*[0-9])        Ensure string has two digits.
    (?=.*[a-z].*[a-z].*[a-z]) Ensure string has three lowercase letters.
    .{8}                      Ensure string is of length 8.
    $                         End anchor.
