There was a time when you would get a truly random password sent, every X months.

Sorry, I might be too young to remember those times. Can you tell me more, please? I'm genuinely curious.

Because from the sound of that, it feels that it would patch the `123456` problem, but opens up a new vulnerability - the password is known / being sent through / printed, so it can be leaked from that source.
