It could work theoretically (the password contains around 90 bits, and from each row you can glean, dunno, some 64 bits of info (64 characters that can be yellow, gray or green, so 101 bits, but there are constraints on that - very unlikely that all characters are gray, for example)). In practice, I don't think it's computationally feasible. You can't keep all 2^90 = 10^27 possible solutions around in memory. Bitcoin does 200 EH/s, so 2e20 hashes/s. So the entire bitcoin mining network would have to work for 2 months (5e6 seconds) or so - don't see how you can meaningfully reduce the work (it would indicate a flaw in SHA256, no?). |

It also uses 96 possible characters for each digit. Just storing the 96^14 different passwords without even adding their corresponding SHA hashes would require 5646 yottabytes. Which is more than 4 orders of magnitude larger than all the world's digital storage capacity combined together.
