Given a string input containing password

characters, the task is to check the strength of
the password.

The strength of the password is when you tell

that the password is whether easily guessed or
cracked. The strength should vary from weak,
average and strong. To check the strength we
have to check the following points −

Password must be at least 8

characters long.

It must contain 1 lower case

alphabet.

It must contain 1 uppercase alphabet

It must contain a digit

It must contain a special character

like : !@#$%^&*()><,.+=-

Like there is a password “tutorialspoint” which is

easily guessed so we can cay that he given
password is “weak” as it contains only lowercase
characters, whereas password
“Tutorialspoint@863!” is strong as have both
upper and lowercase, a digit and a special
character and is longer than 8 characters, hence
meeting all the conditions to make a password
stronger.

If there is some password meeting the more than

half of the characteristics of the strong password,
then we will consider the password as moderate.
Like the password “tutorialspoint12” it will be
considered as moderate as contains lowercase, a
digit and its length is greater than 8 chacters.

Example

Input: tutoriAlspOint!@12
Output: Strength of password:-Strong
Explanation: Password has 1 lowercase, 1 upperca
Input: tutorialspoint
Output: Strength of password:-Weak

Approach we will be using to solve the

given problem −

Take a string output for password.

Check the password for all the factors

which are responsible for judging the
password strength.

According to the factors print the

password’s strength.

Algorithm

Start
Step 1 In function void printStrongNess(string
Declare and initialize n = input.length()
Declare bool hasLower = false, hasUpper = fal
Declare bool hasDigit = false, specialChar = fa
Declare string normalChars = "abcdefghijklmn
"vwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123
Loop For i = 0 and i < n and i++
If (islower(input[i]))
Set hasLower = true
If (isupper(input[i]))
Set hasUpper = true
If (isdigit(input[i]))
Set hasDigit = true
Set size_t special = input.find_first_not_o
If (special != string::npos)
Set specialChar = true
End Loop
Print "Strength of password:-"
If (hasLower && hasUpper && hasDigit &&
specialChar && (n >= 8))
Print "Strong"
else if ((hasLower || hasUpper) &&
specialChar && (n >= 6))
Print "Moderate"
else
print "Weak"
Step 2 In function int main()
Declare and initialize input = "tutorialspoint!@
printStrongNess(input)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void printStrongNess(string& input) {
int n = input.length();
// Checking lower alphabet in string
bool hasLower = false, hasUpper = false;
bool hasDigit = false, specialChar = fal
string normalChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqr
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (islower(input[i]))
hasLower = true;
if (isupper(input[i]))
hasUpper = true;
if (isdigit(input[i]))
hasDigit = true;
size_t special = input.find_first_not
if (special != string::npos)
specialChar = true;
}
// Strength of password
cout << "Strength of password:-";
if (hasLower && hasUpper && hasDigit &&
specialChar && (n >= 8))
cout << "Strong" << endl;
else if ((hasLower || hasUpper) &&
specialChar && (n >= 6))
cout << "Moderate" << endl;
else
cout << "Weak" << endl;
}
int main() {
string input = "tutorialspoint!@12";
printStrongNess(input);
return 0;
}

Output

Strength of password:-Moderate
