Dear Colleagues,

I've used OPIE for many years (and S/Key before that) to login to my
system from untrusted terminals (cafes, libraries etc).

Now I've read an opinion that OPIE is outdated (and indeed its upstream
distribution is gone) and that pam_google_authenticator would be more
secure: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D237270

Is that truly so? With 20 words in OPIE and only 6 digits in
pam_google_authenticator, how strong is pam_google_authenticator against
brute force and other attacks?
