Generated passwords should contain symbols

Project Member Reported by zkoch@chromium.org, Jan 31 2017

Issue description

I have come across a few sites where the generated passwords are not considered "strong enough" because they don't contain a special character. One such example is credit karma. I've attached a screenshot of the error thrown when I chose to generate the password with Chrome.

I've seen this a few times, now, where we always fail because of a lack of a special character.

Does it make sense to ensure that all generated passwords hit on the common set of requirements around the web, e.g.:

* min length
* at least one uppercase
* at least one lowercase
* at least one digit
* at least one symbol

I know we can't hit all use cases, though...

Thanks Zach for your feedback. Yes, sometimes our passwords don't meet site's requirements. We keep that in mind and try to improve it.

I agree that we should make sure to hit the common set of requirements that Zach lists, including a symbol.
