Don't use similar looking characters when generating passwords

[alexjeen]

For instance when you generate a password, these two look exactly the same:

Ib1234
lb1234
(capital i and small L)

And:

0bb21
Obb21
(zero and capital O)

At least in some fonts. So then the user gets blocked by CSF because of wrong password.

So maybe it's better to omit similar looking characters when generating the passwords.
