This endpoint ensures that the passwords provided by users during registration meet a specified standard for security and complexity. The validation checks for the presence of at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit, one special character, and a minimum length of 8 characters. This enhances data integrity, improves security, and ensures a better user experience.
Acceptance Criteria
The endpoint /api/v1/user/validate-password is accessible via a POST request.
When a valid password format is provided, the endpoint returns a 200 OK status and a message "Password format is valid".
When an invalid password format is provided, the endpoint returns a 400 Bad Request status and a message "Password must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit, one special character, and be at least 8 characters long.".
Ensure that all unit and integration tests for the password validation feature are comprehensive, accurate, and verify the functionality correctly.
