This is a terrible idea. It’s negligibly better than writing down the passwords, because it’s trivially easy to try every password represented on this card. Once someone has the card, your entropy is just two characters, which is the two characters you memorize for the site. In effect, you have a 2 character password.

I see what you're saying. But it's just a tool. You can use the card for any mapping pattern you like. This GitHub link has a nice animated image, I've tried to include it here in line, that shows different options you could use. Giving you more than just a two character password of entropy
It's an interesting idea. I'm not here really to give my input either way, but I just wanted to note on my client, the animation is a static image and when tap on it I get this message:
It's not an issue, but it ends up opening the in-app browser and from there plays as a video
Also, the app has some info it includes when trying to open files, not sure if it's useful:
It's not a big deal at all and if you don't care I apologize for wasting your time. But people here seem to like puzzling out little issues on the fediverse.
Thanks again for the original post, though! It's a fun approach
Which client do you use?
I use sync for lemmy
