I believe this is roughly what you want:
{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.password', '/dev/null', chars=['ascii_letters',
'digits'], length=range(8, 12)|random) }}
1. You cannot nest {{ }}
2. Instead of `range(8-12)` I think you want `range(8, 13)`. First you
want a comma, and then range is non-inclusive of the last number, so you
have to add 1.
3. The password lookup requires a file to write to, even if that is just
`/dev/null` (a normal file is how it has historically achieved idempotency.
