I considered the issue, but the issue is that there are about as many different password validation rules than there are websites, with variations like "characters from 3 out of 4 character subsets", and handling them made usage too complex (especially combined with supporting only a subset of special chars, which is a very prevalent constraint). I implicitly rely on the fact that, given a long enough passwords, meeting any requirement of this type is highly probable. If it fails, generate a new password.

Most websites require passwords to contain at least one character from each of the catergories: lowercase, UPPERCASE and digits, with optional special characters. The first three must be contained by the password, and yet your code doesn't guarantee that the password will contain all three, it generates invalid passwords. So it needs to be fixed.
