Return alpha-numeric characters, roughly 80% chance for each letter
Return special characters, roughly 20% chance for each letter
generateRandomPassword( length [,special_chars_percent_chance] ) where LENGTH: is required, and the number of characters desired in the password SPECIAL_CHARS_PERCENT_CHANCE: is optional, and if not included, defaults to 20 (for 20% chance) NOTE for special_chars_percent_chance, desired percentage chance should be a WHOLE NUMBER, i.e. 25 for 25%

npm i generate-random-password
...
let gpw = require( 'generate-random-password' );
// this will create a random password of length 8, and
// a 20% chance of special chars for each letter
let pw = gpw.generateRandomPassword( 8 );
OR
// this will create a random password of length 8, special characters
// having a 50% chance of showing up each letter
let pw = gpw.generateRandomPassword( 8, 50 );
