# OpenVerbs Password Generator

> OpenVerbs Password Generator is a paid API for AI agents from password.openverbs.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Generates a secure random password (character-based) or a wordlist passphrase with configurable length, character sets, and separator options.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability openverbs-password-generator-fb1fb52c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a secure 24-character password in chars mode that includes uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols, but excludes ambiguous characters like 1, l, O, and 0.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a server-side cryptographically random password or passphrase without storing any state — ideal for agent workflows that provision accounts, reset credentials, or onboard users. Prefer this over client-side generation when auditability of the generation call matters, or when you need passphrase mode with configurable word count and separator. Use the sibling strength-estimation endpoint if you need to evaluate an existing password instead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid mode value (not 'chars' or 'passphrase') returns a validation error
- Length out of range (below 4 or above 256 for chars mode) returns a schema validation error
- Words count out of range (below 2 or above 20 for passphrase mode) returns a schema validation error
- Separator string exceeds 8 characters returns a validation error
- All character class flags set to false in chars mode may return an error or empty result
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC returns a 402 Payment Required error

## How this service works

Generate a secure random password (characters) or a wordlist passphrase.

## Output

Returns a generated password or passphrase string based on the specified mode and options. In chars mode, delivers a random string of the requested length using the selected character classes. In passphrase mode, delivers a hyphen- (or custom-separator-) joined sequence of random words, optionally capitalized.
