Not sure if that's the best approach, might need more testing.

Wait, does it really work for all subdomains too?

I believe the regex is valid, but I wonder if there are edge cases we should consider for other URL patterns.

I'm a bit confused about the asterisk in the domain part. Does it really allow for subdomains too?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the parentheses for the endpoints are definitely needed.

I think the regex looks correct, but I'm not entirely sure if the wildcard is properly used for the domain.

The solution provided looks good to me. I'll double-check the syntax, but I'm confident this RegEx will do the trick.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to use the alternation operator '|' to match both the /login and /change_password endpoints, and the wildcard '*' to match any subdomains under the example.com domain.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my RegEx knowledge and make sure I understand the requirements properly before attempting an answer.

This looks like a tricky RegEx question. I'll need to think through the different URL patterns carefully to make sure I cover all the bases.

I'm more of a 'just use the default settings' kind of guy, but this regex looks like it gets the job done. Time to put on my RegEx wizard hat!

Regex, the language of the gods. Or the demons, depending on your mood. Either way, this solution looks good to me!

I agree with Kati, the RegEx provided is too broad and could potentially allow unintended URLs.

Regex, the programmer's kryptonite. But this one seems pretty solid. I'll give it a shot on my next Okta project.

Hmm, I think I would have gone with something a little more specific, like '^https://example\\.com/(login|change_password)$'. Just to be extra sure, you know?
