Like apg or master password.

Could you elaborate?
I don't know these two and I don't know what a readable password is supposed to be, nor do I know why you'd want that.

Specifically, this is called “pronounceable passwords”. For example:

% apg -M sncl -m 16 -x 24
tuddiborkyoirgOv5
RieGlaph5KnaFlan!
klotLemLooswibDiFrejbi
nudigewcavtuIxtyuv1
yusVokThobGepEfGeipKu
frenEtneabyawtOiHofno

Or: https://changedmy.name/pronounceable-password-generator/

They have less entropy per symbol thus they need to be longer. But since they are pronounceable, there's actually a chance to remember one.

Very interesting, I like the idea!
But, there are more important things to do first, so I wont implement this any time soon. But I'll keep it in mind
