Something you should look into is validate.js. A simple jQuery library for validating strings (min, max etc). And after a quick google, I found plenty of other people with the same question as yours. Here's one: jQuery Validate plugin - password check - minimum requirements - Regex.

In this question, @Bergi gives an answer with the following regex

/^(?=.*[a-z])[A-Za-z0-9\d=!\-@._*]+$/

The min and max attributes are being handled via validate.js. Hope this helps!
