0 sats \ 3 replies \ @PlebeiusG 7 May 2023 \ on: Why seed phrases are bad? bitcoin
No one says seed phrases are a one-size-fits all.
While coding the other day I did realize something about seed phrases...
Seed phrase 1 + passphrase = Seed phrase 2
Don't know if that makes sense.

If I I put a seed phrase and supply a pass phrase, my client will generate a private key. But, the client won’t store my passphrase.
So later, if I export my private key as a seed phrase, it will be different from the one I first supplied.
This will confuse some people, for sure.

Now I understand. This may confuse for sure even experienced user. Because if there are many wallets around, it may happen that the user completely forgets about existing passphrase.
