I believe this is roughly what you want:
{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.password', '/dev/null', chars=['ascii_letters',
'digits'], length=range(8, 12)|random) }}

want a comma, and then range is non-inclus
I looked at that, but we want to vary the length of the password each time
this is run.

Have you tried -
- name: Generate random string with length 12
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: lookup('community.general.random_string', length=12)
# Example result: ['Uan0hUiX5kVG']

we would like to use an Ansible module to make things easier. What I have
is not working -
set_fact:
user_password: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.password',
