Subject: pwgen: Please include numeric only password option

Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:35:40 +0100

Package: pwgen
Version: 2.06-1+b1
Severity: wishlist


I need to pick a numeric only password and I would have liked pwgen to
make a random one for me. Humans, IMHO, tend to alternate or equally
distribute high and low and even and odd numbers and avoid multiple/consecutive equal 
characters, so these are easier to guess than random passwords. Please
include an option for numeric only passwords.
