Python Regex: password must contain at least one uppercase letter and number

We can use the pattern '\d.*[A-Z]|[A-Z].*\d' to search for entries that have at least one capital letter and one number. Logically speaking there are only two ways that a capital letter and a number can appear in a string. Either the letter comes first and the number after or the number first and the letter after.

The pipe | indicates 'OR', so we will look at each side separately. \d.*[A-Z] matches a number that is followed by a capital letter, [A-Z].*\d matches any capital letter that is followed by a number.

words = ['Password1', 'password2', 'passwordthree', 'P4', 'mypassworD1!!!', '898*(*^$^@%&#abcdef']
for x in words:
    print re.search('\d.*[A-Z]|[A-Z].*\d', x)
#<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00000000088146B0>
#None
#None
#<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00000000088146B0>
#<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00000000088146B0>
#None

Another option is to use a lookahead.

^(?=.*?[A-Z]).*\d

See demo at regex101

The lookahead at ^ start checks if an [A-Z] is ahead. If so matches a digit.
