It was just pointed out to me off-list that the man page for pwgen specifically mentions that this kind of passwords "should not be used in places where the password could be attacked via an off-line brute-force attack." I had missed that detail or at least I did not recall it. This kind of documentation certainly mitigates the problem to some extent.
I'll bet most of the end-users will also miss this if you did. - Henri Salo
