    Conditions like these, IMO it's best to just express them as separate expressions (^[[:upper:]][[:alnum:]]{8,15}$ followed by checks for [[:lower:]] and [[:digit:]]. It'll be far easier to understand and maintain. Commented Apr 17, 2022 at 3:37
  • Something like if [[ "$pass" =~ ^[[:upper:]][[:alnum:]]{8,15}$ && "$pass =~ [[:lower:]]+[[:digit:]]+ ]]? I think the order of second condition will matter then. Commented Apr 17, 2022 at 4:51
