Password operations
Cryptshare Server administrators are able to set up various password requirements. In order to check the requirements or to validate or generate passwords, several endpoints exist to assist.
Request a generated password
With this endpoint the consumer can request a server-side generated password in the response body that fulfills all password requirements.
GET https://<your-url>/api/password
Validate a custom password
Before setting a transfer password in the Edit Password endpoint, the consumer would be able to validate their custom password first, to check if it fulfills all password requirements.
If the password does not fulfill certain requirements, these are listed in the response body.
POST https://<your-url>/api/password
