Note that '11- or 12-character tokens' really aren't secure either: assuming mixed-case and digits, that's only 65- to 71-bit security; if it's case-insensitive, that reduces to 56- to 62-bit security. That's still pretty easily enumerable.

For mixed-case and digits, one requires at least 22 truly-random characters to provide 128 bits of security (43 for 256-bit security).
