We are going to be creating a custom hook that you can use to validate your passwords with the following.

• Minimum Amount of Characters
• Uppercase
• Lowercase
• Includes Number
• Includes Special Character
• Both passwords match

The custom hook will all be build without any 3rd party packages and will only be using vanilla react and vanilla javascript.

We will also be displaying our validation through the app. Which makes it super simple to add this to your app and make it prettier for full on production.
