While loop repeat

[Runner83]

@MasterJediKnight7 here is the code for the function which is method 2

import re

def password_1(x):
    
    while True:
        #input("Please enter your password: ")
        if re.search(r'[" ",_]', x):
            print("Please enter a valid password")
        elif re.match(r'[a-z,A-Z,0-9]',x) and re.search(r'[!@#$%^&*-+=]',x) and len(x) >= 8:
            print("Password accepted")
            break
        else:
            print("Please enter a valid password")

        return x

password = input("Please enter your password: ")    
password_1(password)

@JediMasterKnigh7 and here is the first method which has more lines of code but repeats the question for user input until the conditions are met:

#///The following code works///
import re
password = input("Please enter a password: ")
x = True
while x:
    if len(password) < 8 or len(password) > 16:
        break
    elif not re.search("[a-z]",password):
        break
    elif not re.search("[A-Z]",password):
        break
    elif not re.search("[0-9]",password):
        break
    elif not re.search("[@£$]",password):
        break
    elif re.search("\s",password):
        break
    else:
        print("Valid password")
        x = False
        break
if x:
    print("Not a valid password")
