Hi,
Try this:

HTML

<membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider"
  userIsOnlineTimeWindow = "20">
  <providers>
    <add
      name="SqlProvider"
      type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
      connectionStringName="SqlServices"
      requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
      passwordStrengthRegularExpression=" @\"(?=.{6,})(?=(.*\d){1,})(?=(.*\W){1,})"
      />
   </providers>
</membership>

You are missing a "\".
