Passwords being transmitted over a voice call does not equate to a weak password. You can very easily communicate 4-6 English words outside the 10,000 most common to produce a password with 49-83 bits of entropy. And most people will have just as easy a time remembering 5 words as 5 alphanumerics, if not easier.
