Problem with special characters in password meter

Asked

Next, I got a password strength meter that even works. Except he has a bug that I don’t know what the hell happens that I can’t fix at all. To validate, you need to type 8 characters, 1 uppercase letter, 1 number and 1 special character. He has a "check" type that will mark if you put all this information. The problem is that for example, if I start the password with a special character, it does not mark as accepted, it will only mark as accepted if I put in the end or middle of the password. I don’t know why this happens. The code is here: https://jsfiddle.net/danielswater/vw028uk9/2/

Anyone who can help me, I’d really appreciate it

Daniel, in the special character regex, there is a dot (.), expecting "any" character before special character class:

if ( a.match(/.[!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,?,_,~,-,(,)]/) ) {

To fix, just remove that point:

if ( a.match(/[!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,?,_,~,-,(,)]/) ) {

With this, it starts to validate the special character typed in any part of the password.
