import org.passay.PasswordData;
import org.passay.PasswordValidator;
import org.passay.RepeatCharacterRegexRule;
import org.passay.Rule;

public class PassayDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      //Rule: Password should not contain repeated entries
      Rule rule1 = new RepeatCharacterRegexRule(3);
      //8 and 16 characters
      Rule rule2 = new LengthRule(8, 16);    

      PasswordValidator validator = new PasswordValidator(rule1, rule2);
      PasswordData password = new PasswordData("aaefhehhhhh");
      RuleResult result = validator.validate(password);

      if(result.isValid()){
         System.out.println("Password validated.");
      }else{
         System.out.println("Invalid Password: " + validator.getMessages(result));            
      }
   }
}
