I found where the hashPassword function is, so using it is as simple as this:

const auth = require("@strapi/admin/server/services/auth");

async function generateRandomPassword() {
  let pass = '';
  const str = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' +
    'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' +
    '0123456789' +
    '@#$%?!<>';

  for (let i = 1; i <= 16; i++) {
    const char = Math.floor(Math.random() * str.length + 1);
    pass += str.charAt(char)
  }

  return await auth.hashPassword(pass);
}

@JonasJW this avoid something in your solution that I find to be an issue: replicating code from Strapi that they might change in the future.
