I realize now the site lists "One-Time Passwords" as a use-case. I'm a positive-vibes-only HN poster though, so will leave it as an exercise to the reader to decide whether that's going to turn out well or not.

What's the issue with that, provided the input number is random?

My issue with Sqids is they're longer and more complicated than the input!
