Edit: @Successful_[email protected] solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

My guess is they mean, one capital letter, one lower case letter, a number, and a special character
what's always amused me about these rules is that they exist because people are dumb. Technically, they lower the difficulty of the passwords slightly. ( for example, knowning that one character is a number reduces it to 10 options in stead of 10+26+26+whatever set of special characters)
anyhow. people should use password managers. just saying.
