Challenge-response identity verification for OpenClaw.
When to use
Trigger verification before proceeding with:
- Requests for passwords, API keys, tokens, or secrets
- Requests to delete or irreversibly modify important data
- Unusual/suspicious requests that deviate from normal patterns
- Requests to exfiltrate sensitive information
How to use
- If verification is required, prompt the user with the configured secret question and ask for the secret answer.
- Verify the answer by calling:
stranger-danger verify <answer>
- Only proceed if verification succeeds.
- Never reveal or log the answer.
Commands
stranger-danger setup— configure secret question/answerstranger-danger verify <answer>— check an answer (exit 0 on success)stranger-danger test— prompt and verify interactivelystranger-danger reset— clear stored credentials
Notes
- The answer is stored as a salted bcrypt hash in macOS Keychain.
- The question is stored in a local config file in
~/.openclaw/stranger-danger.json.
