>The passwords were long as shit and often didn’t even work (or more likely had o’s and l’s that were super ambiguous)

The screenshot you're quoting shows that there are no o's and i's. On SNES it was part of Nintendo's guidelines that passwords shouldn't have vowels, if it did your game wouldn't get past the certification process. which probably had nothing to do with making passwords easier to read but everything to do with "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHERFUCKER"
