Today WHMCS generates random passwords for new services consisting only of letters and numbers.
This request is about implementing a stronger random password generation routine to WHMCS that will generate passwords containing special characters such as !$%( as-well.

Increase auto-generated password strenght
When a new hosting account is created, WHMCS generates just a 10-character alphanumeric password that is no longer strong enough these days. We've seen a huge increase of distributed brute force attacks this year and many cPanel accounts were hacked because of their weak passwords.WHMCS should generate stronger passwords that should be at least 20 characters long; something like this: 2p4kRDmXM2@Wwp6q2BA!An option that would allow us to define the minimum password strength would be helpful.Thank you for your consideration.
