Character Classes:

Character classes: For the purposes of authentication and password complexity, there are four possible character classes: 

  • Upper case alphabetic (e.g. A-Z)
  • Lower case alphabetic (e.g. a-z)
  • Numeric (e.g. 0-9)
  • Special characters (e.g.!@#$%~).

  2. it has lower case alphabetic: "always b ecure"
  3. it has a number: "3"
