Why this regex
/(?=\w{3,6})(?=\d+)/ is not valid to have a password checker that looks for between 3 and 6 characters and at least one number ?
why it should be /(?=\w{3,6})(?=\D*\d)/ ?

Welcome to the forum!
If I am not mistaken, this is some challenge step. If you will provide link to it, it will be easier for others to help you.
Lets write down this two parts:
\d+
\D*\d
First, try to translate each of them in English - what do they mean?
\d+ => search for any digit element that occurs once or more
\D*\d => search for any non digit element occurs zero or more followed by any digit element
why should i use \D* before \d … its look like \d its enough … but at the end it is not valid .
