I built PangolinMatrix: a different way to protect written-down passwords

I built PangolinMatrix to encode real passwords into safe-to-write-down text. It never stores real passwords: your matrix, encoded list, and directive stay separate. Feedback welcome: does the idea click quickly?

Would you use a tool like PangolinMatrix to encode passwords without storing the real ones?
  1. Yes, I like the separation idea
  2. Maybe, but I need to understand it better
  3. No, I prefer traditional password managers
  4. No, I would not trust this method
