this my attempt :slight_smile: :

Use lookaheads in the pwRegex to match passwords that are greater than 5 characters long, do not begin with numbers, and have two consecutive digits.

let sampleWord = "astronaut";
 
let pwRegex = /(?=^[A-z])(?=.*[^0-9][0-9]{2,})/;

let result = pwRegex.test(sampleWord);

the wired thing here that in the instructions they required that larger than 5 condition
and in this case the correct regex would be :

let pwRegex = /(?=^[A-z]{5,})(?=.*[^0-9][0-9]{2,})/;

but this regex doesn’t pass the test !!
