The function i wrote, is something more advanced and has more options to choose.

Not sure I understand what your asking. If you use the code above, you won’t ever get those special characters.

The character ranges specified in the example (0-9, 65-90, 97-122) only includes 0-9, a-z, A-Z.

If you want to include a bunch of random characters, you could add a fourth case for special characters. Within that fourth case, generate a random number and use that to create a special character based on it’s ASCII code.

However, most passwords exclude special characters, other than maybe underscores.
