64 characters picked at random in [a-zA-Z0-9_] is perfectly fine if password is your only option. Special character do not increase significantly the difficulty of bruteforcing it, but introduce the risk of having to manually type "}à.å÷Â!!ç-×ô@¸Á¢±ãÕß>>úÓ}¼º¤«<_àÅû§Æ]*ÂñçÌÿ§à®&ܱ=Ú-´ð¹é$.>=;Ö` if something goes catastrophically wrong.

Not being allowed to use special characters can be a sign of the website saving your password in plain text.

It can be. Or it can be someone that had to deal with users (or was trained about it) and is limiting the chances of a user being kept out because they type something that looks like their password but isn’t, and then have to go to support.
