Feature Request: Database Password Generation Method Switc

[obteo]

Hello
I’d like to suggest a small feature for the panel related to database password generation.
At the moment, Pterodactyl generates database passwords using special characters. This is generally fine, but it can cause compatibility problems with older applications or software that uses database connection strings directly, especially when characters such as @, +, %, /, or : are included in the password.
For example, I use BigBrotherBot (B3) with MySQL connection strings in this format:
mysql://username:password@host:3306/database

Some generated passwords can break parsing in older software unless they are manually URL-encoded or changed afterward.
It would be very useful to have a switch in the Pterodactyl Admin Panel, for example under Database Host or general database settings, allowing the administrator to choose the password generation method:

• Secure password with special characters current default behavior
• Alphanumeric / URL-safe password letters and numbers only
  An optional configurable password length would also be useful.
  I currently solved this locally by changing:

Utilities::randomStringWithSpecialCharacters(24)

to:
bin2hex(random_bytes(12))

inside DatabasePasswordService.php, but this customization can be overwritten during panel updates.
Having this as an official panel option would avoid modifying core files and would improve compatibility with applications that cannot safely handle special characters in database connection strings.
Thank you for considering it.
Best regards,
Teo

Maybe add a checkbox that lets you switch between the two.
ptero-db-password-fix.sh
I’m using this script as a workaround for now.
Thank you.
