Is there ever any crypto project that allows user passwords to be encrypted into its private key? I've never heard of such I am just curious and thinking about a possibility.
You can use bitaddress.org on an airgapped device. You can use this guide:

How To Run The Bitaddress.org Tool In A Secure Offline TAILS Temporary Live Boot Session

To generate the encrypted private key

Click on paper wallet, input the randoms characters until it is 100%, click on paper wallet again, check BIP38, input the passphrase and generate it. The private key is encrypted.

But I will advice you to just use a seed phrase wallet instead, like electrum. You will run electrum on airgapped device, add passphrase while generating the seed phrase.

You can also use iancoleman.io/bip39/ html file (https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases/latest/) on an airgapped device. Or you any other reputed seed phrase wallet.
