Lost a character in the escape, adding in to communicate clearly.

If you need numbers/special characters - typically there will be a number, if not you can safely append 1 without reducing entropy (while generating a new one to get one w/a number does reduce entropy). You can also safely append a ! without reducing entropy. Neither scheme increases entropy worth anything either, but could bring the generated string into compliance with older password requirements.
