Generate passwords via API

via cURL
curl --location --request GET 'https://passverbs.vercel.app/api/generate?length=32&lowercase=1&uppercase=1&numbers=1'
  • The above cURL request will return a password of length 14 with lowercase and uppercase characters along with numbers and symbols.
  • If you do not want symbols or numbers in your password, you simply remove them from the URL like below:
  • https://passverbs.vercel.app/api/generate?length=9&lowercase=1&uppercase=1
  • The value 1 denotes true. Not adding symbols implies you do not want symbols.
  • Constraints to bear in mind: length should be between 8 and 32 including either. At least one more requirement other than length should be supplied.

Make Siri generate passwords on prompt

  1. To get Siri to generate passwords using Passverbs, you need to use the Shortcuts app on iOS.
  2. Once installed, the first step is to make the API request to Passverbs by creating a custom shortcut. This article explains how to create an API request.
  3. Craft your URL such that your password requirements are fulfilled.
  4. Once you get the response from the API using Get Contents of URL action, the next step is to store the response in a dictionary using Get Dictionary from Input action.
  5. The password value is stored within the key data in the response. So, you want to get the password from the dictionary using the Get Dictionary Value action.
  6. Lastly, you want to copy the extracted password to your clipboard using the Copy to Clipboard action.
  7. To generate passwords without even a touch, you can use the same voice prompt as the name you gave to the shortcut.
