Remarks
This method does not use a cryptographically strong random number generation algorithm. Also, it returns printable ASCII characters only between 0x21 and 0x7E, excluding 0x22 ("), 0x27 ('), 0x2C (,), 0x2E (.), and 0x60 (`). As a result, the password cannot be guaranteed unique or cryptographically strong, but for practical purposes it will be close enough.
